AIGA NY presents Women Lead: Directing Design at New York City’s Top Museums

A dynamic conversation with women leading the charge at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA, The American Museum of Natural History, The Whitney, and The Frick Collection — about their roles in shaping the visual direction for New York City’s premiere institutions, at the intersection of history and contemporary culture. This is a breakthrough for New York City’s cultural institutions. Women are now leading the design vision for five iconic museums, a milestone that must be marked in time. We’re taking this cultural moment to discuss their leadership of creative work, collaborating across channels, and fostering talent within design teams, all while ensuring they are bringing New York’s most discerning museum lovers… and the world inside their doors.

Our distinguished panel includes:
Alicia Cheng, Head of Design at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Stina Sawdust, Creative Director, MoMA
Catharine Weese, Director, Graphic Design at American Museum of Natural History
Hilary Greenbaum, Director of Graphic Design and Brand Creative, Whitney Museum of American Art
Carolyn Thomas, Graphic Design Lead at The Frick Collection
