A panel discussion the Architect of the Party
panel one (1)

From making the space and building the team to cultivating the sound and promoting the event, the work of making a party is certainly not easy. We learn how that happens as panelists discuss the ‘heavy lifting’ that goes into building the architecture of a party, share the work that goes into their specific roles, reflect on success and failures, review artifacts of past parties, and give advice to the next generation of house party architects.
