With the launch of EMERGE 2.0, we’ll be kicking off a new programming season and expanding our reach to support as many emerging designers as possible. In 2016 we were able to schedule an entire week with EMERGE pop-ups. We’ll be filling our calendar with events across the country!
EMERGE formed with the belief that each emerging designer has their own needs. Here’s a snapshot of what was happening around the country during the first EMERGE Awareness Week and beyond. Check out our calendar for the latest EMERGE events in your area.
