press PLAY + BOLD Workshop Present: Art, Architecture and Alliteration
Strategy + Design consultancy press PLAY is proud to collaborate with its longtime partner, BOLD Workshop Architecture, to convene conversations about topics that matter.
As part of this effort, we are proud to present: "Art, Architecture and Alliteration" - a discussion about the intersection of creative fields and what craftspeople can learn from one another.
This inaugural session will focus on the audacity of creating at a time of chaos, confusion and deep polarization - and what we can do to act with integrity.
We hope you will join us for what is sure to be a deeply thoughtful and provocative conversation.
