Las Vegas Design Center Announces October Events

Las Vegas Design Center is set to host three educational, celebratory and fundraising events, in addition to an ongoing exhibitor-hosted weekly designer lunch program, in October at World Market Center Las Vegas: a color presentation with Sherwin Williams and an Art 4 Autism artist reception on Oct. 6 and a women’s educational and networking event on Oct. 26.

“LVDC is always finding more ways to bring the Las Vegas design community together, and October offers multiple events to celebrate and learn,” said Cain Brodie, LVDC general manager. “With three events and an ongoing lunch program, designers are invited to attend LVDC every week to elevate their sourcing and educational experience with our state-of-the-art resources.”

LVDC First Friday educational seminars will return this October with the Sherwin-Williams Colormix 2024, presented by Laurie Clark, Sherwin-Williams senior designer and account executive. The seminar will present a biennial color trend report that distills large-scale trend stories into components colors, carefully collected into four key chromatic families.

Attendees will discuss the future drivers influencing color and design trend, look at macro themes and global trends, and embark on a visual journey with stimulating imagery, design interpretations and research that supports the 2024 Colormix forecast. The seminar will be held Friday, Oct, 6 at 11 a.m. in LVDC seminar room, A240.

Also on Oct. 6, LVDC will host a Champagne Artist Reception, celebrating and marking the end of its third annual edition of the Art 4 Autism exhibition, a month-long fundraiser, in partnership with Families for Effective Autism Treatment (FEAT). The installation of custom art created by adults and children living with Autism Spectrum Disorder is currently on display in the Atrium of Building A, and every original piece in the installation is available for auction. Fifty percent of proceeds raised will benefit FEAT and 50 percent will be given directly to artists.

The reception runs from 4 to 8 p.m. in the Atrium, and all art is available for auction at LVDC or online at https://www.biddingowl.com/Auction/home.cfm?auctionID=22277.

On Thursday, Oct. 26, LVDC will host its second annual women’s event in partnership with Chic Compass Magazine, titled “Women of Las Vegas | The Game Changers,” a dynamic program celebrating the remarkable women who are driving innovation, fostering growth and shaping the future of business in Las Vegas. Main elements include panel discussions, networking, a business showcase and community building – all with a focus on empowerment, leadership, equality, inclusivity and inspiration. The women’s event will run from noon to 5 p.m., with Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn Goodman welcoming guests during lunch. Seats are limited and 100 percent of the proceeds from the day will benefit The Forgotten Song Foundation. For ticket information and updates, visit www.WomenofLasVegas.eventbrite.com
