Bronx Museum XM Café Happy Hour
5/17, 2017
Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York
A happy hour break hosted by EcoArt Project during NYCxDESIGN at the Bronx Museum’s XM Café. The event called all environmentally focused designers, artists, scientists, and solution seekers to participate in an evening of innovative art, design, resources, networking, and inspiration around the creation of a green economy.
The EcoArt Project Salon Series is a program of insightful discussions related to the environment, conceived to generate curiosity and engagement by mixing art and design with science and technology. Each salon is thoughtfully curated to bring together speakers of diverse backgrounds in an effort to inspire creative ideas, develop meaningful relationships, and build a community of powerful leaders. This program is intended to offer a culturally-elevating and entertaining experience while engaging new minds to participate in the life and development of the organization. Following the discussion, attendees are invited for cocktails and conversations.
