Join the Society of Publication Designers on Thursday, September 18th for our in-person speaker event: The Making of Legends of Broadway. An exclusive evening with two creative legends—Jody Quon, Creative Director of New York Magazine, and acclaimed photographer Mark Seliger—as they take us behind the scenes of the Legends of Broadway issue.

Moderated by award-winning creative director, photo editor, and writer Jodi Peckman, this conversation will explore the art of visual storytelling, the dynamics of creative collaboration, and the behind-the-scenes process of producing one of New York Magazine's most visually stunning issues.

From concept to final cover, Quon and Seliger will share how they captured the essence of Broadway’s most iconic performers, and how design and photography come together to create lasting cultural impact. This is a rare opportunity to hear from the most influential voices in editorial imagery.

The Museum of Arts and Design (MAD) champions contemporary makers across creative fields and presents the work of artists, designers, and artisans who apply the highest level of ingenuity and skill. Since the Museum’s founding in 1956 by philanthropist and visionary Aileen Osborn Webb, MAD has celebrated all facets of making and the creative processes by which materials are transformed, from traditional techniques to cutting-edge technologies. Today, the Museum’s curatorial program builds upon a rich history of exhibitions that emphasize a cross-disciplinary approach to art and design, and reveals the workmanship behind the objects and environments that shape our everyday lives. MAD provides an international platform for practitioners who are influencing the direction of cultural production and driving twenty-first-century innovation, and fosters a participatory setting for visitors to have direct encounters with skilled making and compelling works of art and design.
