In 2017, creative minds joined efforts in Guatemala to celebrate craftsmanship, preserve traditions and generate impact using color. The result was Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó.

Join us for an immersive conversation about the power of design as a tool to create a positive impact in developing countries. Our panel will gather industry leaders and change makers who will share their insights on how design can transform communities, develop sustainable impact and align efforts. All to give back to Santa Catarina Palopo through a collection of limited edition chairs that highlight and honor traditional craftsmanship from Guatemala.

Doors open at 7:00pm with the panel set to begin promptly at 7:15pm. Cocktails and live DJ sets to follow from 8-9pm.
