“The city’s design community fuels our future. Designers inspire us by imagining new possibilities, offering creative solutions, remaking our spaces, and lifting our spirits,” said Whitney Donhauser, Ronay Menschel Director and President of the Museum of the City of New York. “As we begin gathering again safely, we’re thrilled to host New York’s most innovative design masterminds to share how the city itself plays a role in their creative process.”

The afternoon luncheon raises crucial funds for the important work of the Museum, from content-rich exhibitions that celebrate and interpret the city, to field trips and out-of-school programs offered by the Frederick A.O. Schwarz Education Center, to stewardship of the Museum’s extraordinary collections. These offerings have never been more important, as New York City continues to move forward through the COVID-19 pandemic.

“For artists and creative thinkers, there is endless inspiration to be found on the streets of New York, and in the style and characters of New Yorkers,” said Volandes. “The Museum of the City of New York has always been a place to imagine the future of our city, and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity to think big here with some of the most inspiring designers I know.”

“Creativity is the city’s greatest asset,” said Mizrahi. “We’ve seen how important it can be in times of hardship, and we want to ensure it continues to thrive.”

For more than two decades, the Museum’s Symposium & Luncheon has celebrated the artists and designers who have made New York City the design capital of the world. The Symposium has featured design icons like Cynthia Rowley, Peter Marino, Jacques Grange, Ralph Pucci, Jonathan Adler, and Simon Doonan, amongst many others.
