Movie "Fountainhead"
Monday February 22nd 5:30-7:30
Individualistic and idealistic architect Howard Roark is expelled from college because his designs fail to fit with existing architectural thinking. He seems unemployable but finally lands a job with like-minded Henry Cameron, however within a few years Cameron drinks himself to death, warning Roark that the same fate awaits unless he compromises his ideals. Roark is determined to retain his artistic integrity at all costs.

The Highlight This Month!!!

Fashion Meets Interior Design.
Throughout history architecture has been an inspiration for all types of artists. The attention to detail, the beautiful facade, and the overwhelming size to say the least, can certainly inspire someone in the creation process. Featured in our very own gallery,(11-17 Beach st. Manhattan, NY) Fashion Designe students, Vikki Nulman and Heather Slingerland, found their inspiration through architecture, such as Toyo Ito's building "The Tod's" in Omotesando.

The interior design students were intrigued by this concept and edger to see their designs. Loving the concept of "inspiration through architecture", Rich Munson dreamed up a gallery installation that completely transformed the gallery into a siren Japanese oasis. After hard work from both ID and FD the gallery is finished and ready for the show! Thursday February,4th @5:00......Be there for the show...be there for the Food...just be there!
ID students Zach Vitelli, Jonathan Cheng, Richard Huffman
