Open Studio Crawls

If you look closely enough, you’ll find a design studio nestled in almost every corner of New York City. From ceramics studios and sustainable lighting brands to advanced manufacturing facilities and experiential design firms, there’s a lot of design to explore in New York City. 

NYCxDESIGN’s Open Studios Crawls will offer a behind-the-scenes look at how design is made right here in New York City. On five dedicated days during the Festival, NYCxDESIGN will host guided walking tours in Red Hook, Long Island City, the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and Flatiron. In each tour, local designers will open their studio doors to share everything behind their craft. Join NYCxDESIGN’s Open Studio Crawls to explore a range of disciplines, processes, and spaces in guided tours across some of New York City’s most creative neighborhoods.
