Hosted four times a year in Hartford and Bridgeport, Design Night Out is an event series that takes a creative theme and explores how great design is transforming that theme here in Connecticut.
Join Hartford Prints! and The Bananaland as we explore the intersections of creativity. Where do artists, designers, entrepreneurs, and makers find inspiration and collaboration? How does identity, time, and place inform the creative process? Grassroots and family-friendly, it’s like a live podcast in your living room. All with an open bar, food, music, networking friend-making, and fun!
Come for the community. Stay for the conversation. Leave with your creative spirit recharged.
Be the first to know about our upcoming events!
