good neighbor 5th Annual Design Camp

A Celebration of Hands & Craft


september 9 - 14

Our 5th annual Design Camp is back from September 9th to 14th for another year of deep conversation, community connection, and endless inspiration.

This year’s theme is A Celebration of Hands and Craft and we will be joined by the brightest creative minds locally and some friends and neighbors from afar.

Each day, experience a different theme to deepen your understanding of design while joining your neighbors for conversations from the top artists, designers, and makers in their respective practices.


OUR DAILY SCHEDULE

9a to 11a - Morning Meditation - a chance to get your day started right with intention setting and light morning refreshments with your neighbors in our guesthouse lobby that is redesigned for the week with archival items from Sanam Sindhi (South Asia Archive) and Shawn Chopra (good neighbor)


6p to 8p - Evening Inspiration - each evening we will highlight prominent leaders in the fields of art, filmmaking, design, and archival to dive into their process and connect the craft that goes into each.
