Carmine is a new event for designers who think like artists.
10—12 August 2019
We went to hundreds of design conferences, were inspired by countless speakers and made tons of new connections and friends… but always walked away feeling like we were only talking about a fraction of what designers can do. This is an event dedicated to the rest of it.

We were always taught that art creates problems and design solves them. Is that an overly limiting way to think of our practice? Are we closing ourselves off to interesting opportunities by not embracing the role of troublemakers?
Speakers include Mark Novo, Sofia Pazari, Sandra Cami, Kevin Matsuya, Chase Nevins, Ida Kester, Helen Gates and more.
Enjoy live demonstrations of papermaking, Japanese calligraphy, screenprinting and other craft traditions with applications to both art and design.
