Changing Hands THREE

Photographing for the Museum of Arts & Design is a source of inspiration, awe, magic and eye-opening connectivity. Museum Director Holly Hotchner and the curatorial staff, along with guest curators, never cease to amaze in showcasing original and diverse and inclusive contemporary arts & design. If you haven't visited the museum at its new location on Columbus Circle, you should. Here are some of the artists that were at the 062512 opening of Changing Hands 3 -- Contemporary Native North American Art. The show runs through October 2012. Check out this spectacular work!

A MAD Ball

DJ's Andrew & Andrew were one of three crews who kept the bodies moving at the Museum of Arts & Design for the LED Ball on 051712. Part of Design Week, the event, co-sponsored by The Lighting Science Group and the Continental Mining and Metallurgical Corporation, saw the Museum transformed into a red carpet affair for fashion and design celebs with an all-star event committee of designer Dror Benshetrit, actor/director Shenae Grimes, and hockey star Sean Avery. Leading the way, as usual, was the irrepressible Director of the Museum, Holly Hotchner, pictured with her husband, Franklin Silverstone in his one-of-a-kind LED tie!
