Designing a Creative Life: A Design and Architecture Gathering at CCA
June 10 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Join us during San Francisco Design Week for cocktails, conversation, reflection, and reconnection at California College of the Arts.
Alumni, faculty, staff, and friends are invited to reconnect, share stories, and consider what it means to carry a CCA creative education into the world. Throughout the evening, guests are invited to “Call the Archive,” an interactive experience where you can record a short audio story about your CCA experience, and contribute to “One Object, Many Stories,” where attendees can share reflections sparked by an exhibition of studio tools and CCA artifacts. Through these interactive experiences, we can celebrate the many ways CCA has shaped creative lives: from studio to practice to impact. Collected stories will contribute to the first edition of Continuum, a legacy broadsheet celebrating the CCA Architecture and Design community.
Hosted by the Design Division and the Architecture Division.
Hors d’oeuvres as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be provided.
Location: Deborath + Kenneth Novak Gallery + Plaza, 145 Hooper Street, Simpson Family Maker Building, Upper Level
