Whose Vision Is It Anyway?
A DesignPhiladelphia 2026 Panel
Every artist who has ever taken on client work knows the tension: you were hired for your eye, your hand, your particular way of seeing — and yet the project isn't entirely yours. It belongs, in part, to the person paying for it. Renaissance workshops wrestled with this same question long before "branding" was a word anyone used; the difference is that today, we rarely talk about it out loud.
Whose Vision Is It Anyway? brings that conversation into the open. Co-hosted by The Makers Table and Hotel Anna & Bel, this panel gathers working artists to explore what it actually looks like to hold onto your style while still delivering what a client wants and needs. Listen in on this exploration of where compromise ends and the collaboration begins. Panelists to be announced soon.
Join us Sunday, October 4th from 4–6pm at Caletta, inside Hotel Anna & Bel, as part of the DesignPhiladelphia 2026 festival. Tickets are $50 and include wine, light snacks, and time to mingle with fellow guests and panelists before and after the conversation. Space is limited.
