NY11+ Annual Interior Design Student Exhibition Apr. 12-15
The New York Eleven Plus (NY11+) Annual Interior Design Student Exhibition, this year titled Interior Design: Educate & Elevate the Profession, will open at the Lapicida NYC showroom and be on display from April 12– 15, 2016.
NY11+ was founded in 1997 by Ruth Lynford, FASID, IIDA, CID, AIA Assoc. as an exhibition of work from prestigious New York State educational institutions, all offering four-year programs or more in Interior Design. To date, more than a dozen schools join together each year in an effort to reach the general public, legislators and the design community through student work.
The exhibition has raised awareness of the complexity and responsibilities of the interior design profession as it applies to the health, safety and welfare of the public.
