We've heard about it time and time again: "What happened to American Design?!" The lack of international presence and consistently "good" work has prompted many debates recently, but a few New York based designers are planning to change all that. Spear-headed by Brooklyn-based designer Kiel Mead, an American Design Club is in the works. Functioning as a forum for American Designers to create, exhibit and potentially sell work, the club will launch its activities with an exhibition on Sept. 25th at Character in New York City. The call for submission is presently open until August 27th, 2008. Entries should address the theme of "Outside" and preferably be small and sell-able.

For submission guidelines and entry forms email info[at]americandesignclub.com.

NOTE: The exhibit is open to any designer working in America. (Lil' secret: their dream is to get Alaskan submissions. Seriously.) So get crackin, you far-off states!!
