**THANK YOU!**

The launch party exceeded our expectations, and we couldn't have done it without your support.

Who knew Boston had so much love for design?  (We did!)  

If you missed the event, but would like to keep in touch, connect with us via Facebook, Twitter, designingamuseum.org, and/or email.  Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, March 16, 2010, and join us at 7:30pm as we celebrate the launch of Design Museum Boston and the DesigningAMuseum.org social network at West End Johnnies, 138 Portland Street, Boston, MA.

For one night, the digital becomes physical as both designers and non-designers alike come together to help build the Design Museum Boston community. Have a drink, become a member of DesigningAMuseum.org, and live tweet at our onsite kiosks. View an onsite exhibit of the Design Museum Boston mission featuring local design work. Join the conversation as we work together to educate the public about the work local designers are doing and celebrate its broad impact.

Donations will be accepted onsite and there will be a silent auction with some fantastic items to benefit the museum, including: a litl webbook, pogoplug, imojito iphone wallet, Bose SoundLink digital music system, Philips Color Kinetics eW Profile Powercore and a variety of products from Converse. We'll also have several great product bundles from Contour Design and Continuum, along with a nice selection of M products from Staples. And to top if off we have 2 Intuos4 tablets from WACOM. So bring your ideas and your check book. We’ll see you there!

About Design Museum Boston

Design Museum Boston is a non-profit organization with the goal of creating and maintaining a network of virtual and physical exhibit spaces online, in Boston, and across New England. These exhibits will educate the public on the role of design in their lives and the contributions of design within the creative economy. Design Museum Boston will also host events and programs related to design education to further connect the design community to the public.

Design Museum Boston showcases exciting design work and it’s impact differently than a traditional museum. Through a decentralized network of physical and virtual exhibits, Design Museum Boston brings programming to galleries, retail environments, public spaces and the web. There, audiences can be exposed to the design process from a social, economic, and environmental point of view.

DesigningAMuseum.org

As part of this mission, we’ve created DesigningAMuseum.org a social network open to designers and non-designers alike which serves as the virtual think-and-do tank for Design Museum Boston. On the site, people are coming together to shape the museum and its programing through discussions, blogs and multimedia content. The online community has come alive with members sharing their thoughts and ideas around the possibility of a design museum in Boston. The site will document this collaboration and showcase this massive design process.
