2026 NYCXDEISIGN Festival Networking, Founders × Creators × Artists

The year’s most anticipated cross-disciplinary gathering — where art, culture, and creative minds converge.

To celebrate the opening of “Becoming” Exhibition — NYCxDESIGN Festival, NotYetArt invites you to an exclusive opening ceremony where exhibition, atmosphere, and human connection merge.

For one night, the gallery transforms into a living environment —

part exhibition, part social salon, part sensory experience.

Not a typical opening.

Not a conventional networking event.

Something softer.

More fluid.

More alive.
