Letter from the Director; It has been a great year! Many exciting design events have taken place with the schools. Designing for Doc Severenson and the Symphony Orchestra as well as the large party at the Chicago Union Station were very exciting. Instore design demos at Bloomingdales, Boerner Botanical Gardens and Intelligient Design of Minneapolis were very good experiences met with great reviews. I'd like to thank also executives at Northwestern Mutual, Harpo Studios and New Trier H.S. for hiring our teachers for private lessons. The students handle many of the events themselves and I'm especially proud of the two huge parties they designed in Chicago.
