Fall in New York City means the leaves are changing colors, and it’s time to gather together for Open House at the MFA Design for Social Innovation (DSI) program in the School of Visual Arts.

RSVP and come get to know DSI, in-person or virtually. 

Connect with creative DSI students, visionary faculty, and working alums. See and hear examples of how social design supports care in our communities, systems, and planet. If you are curious and ready to make a change, RSVP to the MFA DSI Open House now! 

We have two upcoming events:

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27 – 9:00-10:30 AM EST

Zoom with DSI students, faculty, and alums. Ask questions to our international students about their DSI experiences living in NYC and being social designers in the world today. Hosted by Miya Osaki, DSI chair.
