Those that CAN, teach.
Celebrating the 40 year legacy of Richard Wilde.

Design education can be a mysterious art, yet each of us has that special teacher or exceptional experience that transformed our art, our careers, and ourselves. In celebration of 40 years of Richard Wilde’s leadership and innovation as chairman of the graphic design department at the School of Visual Arts, and The Wilde Years Exhibition, AIGA/NY invites you to spend an evening with the best and brightest of design educators. Please join legendary designers and teachers Gail Anderson, Arem Duplessis, Carin Goldberg, and Paula Scher, and moderator Steven Heller as they discuss their own careers in design education and showcase some of their results—their students.
