In a heavily visual and virtual world, good design and curation is key to making an impact. Designing to Share is a panel discussing the ins and outs of graphic design- particularly in the fields of arts and culture and independent media.

The program features Juanita Austin, founder of Cultured AF, New London, CT and Andre Salkin, founder of @leftnortheast, Lyme-Old Lyme High School ’20. They will share how they got started, their current projects, and how their design skills have helped them accomplish their goals. Discussion will also cover topics such as free design software, establishing an audience and a “look,” using and citing credible sources, with time for Q&A with the presenters.

Youth and adults who are at all curious about the creation of helpful and inspiring graphics seen on social media- especially as a tool for grassroots community building- will have a unique opportunity to get behind the scenes with the founders of impactful arts and media platforms.

This program is co-presented with PARJE (racialjusticeart.org)  This program is made possible with the support of CT Humanities.
