A few weeks ago, I posted about how many of us in Rhode Island's creative community were trying to create more "connectivity" between the state's many different "circles" of designers - architects, graphic designers, urban planners, industrial designers, software architects, product designers, information architects, user interface designers. These professionals have more in common than they don't. We all share an understanding of the creative process, an apprection for the value of collaboration, and, most obviously, a deep love for good design.

In that spirit, Matt Grigsby and Andy Cutler have organized what promises to be terrific event:

We're cross-pollinating social networks in a way that only Rhode Island can. The Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA), The American Institute of Architects (AIA), AIGA Rhode Island, plus the Congress for New Urbanism (CNU ), plus Providence Geeks and RI Nexus are having a casual gathering at the Wild Colonial Tavern in Providence to get acquainted... share ideas, and get have a great time.

CONCENTRIC (like circles - get it?)
May 8th, 5-11pm
The Wild Colonial Tavern
250 South Water Street
