american design clubs on the rise


image: ctrl+alt+design, JOIN:design seattle's annual design review 2009

our friends over at core77 recently wrote about the increasing number of design clubs that are emerging in the USA. so far in 2009 three independent design associations have already formed : the american design club in new york, JOIN:design seattle, and the object design league in chicago.

established by designers who are dedicated to working independently, these three clubs share a common goal: to support emerging design in the united states by raising the visibility of young designers, helping them find an audience and, ultimately, structure a business. paralleling a movement on the national stage by the national design policy initiative, these clubs compensate for a serious lack of design support with their own gumption.
