New Work: The Architectural League of New York

Many locations of U.S. industry may be moribund at the moment, but for its 2009 Beaux Arts Ball on June 6, The Architectural League of New York has chosen to celebrate at the Old American Can Factory, a bustling redeveloped canning factory in Brooklyn that houses studios for over 200 artists, designers, filmmakers and non-profit organizations. Michael Bierut and Jennifer Kinon have designed the poster and graphics for the event, which has the theme of “Manufacture.” Many of the factory’s studios will be open for the evening and guests will be able to participate in a collaborative building, binding and printing activity in a vast indoor space outfitted with machinery.

All proceeds will benefit the League’s lecture and exhibitions program. Information and tickets here. Dress code industrious!
