Global designers, live performances, and immersive technology highlight this year's celebration of creativity and innovation. A Design Award x Utopia. Hosts the 2025 40X40 International Design Exhibition in New York City Celebrating global design excellence with live performances, prize draws, and a forward-looking panel on AIs role in creativity.

Brooklyn was alive with creativity and community spirit as part of the much-anticipated NYC Summer Streets event, a signature initiative of the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) aimed at reclaiming public spaces for the people. A standout feature of the day was the Utopia. Pop-Up Exhibition — an immersive art experience designed to engage people of all ages in the transformative power of creativity.

This year's event, held in collaboration with the DOT, NYC City Planning, the Museum of Urban Arts, and the NYC Office of Information Technology & Innovation, was proudly sponsored by Wasserman, a leader in creative and brand partnerships. Wasserman's support helped bring the event to life, ensuring that this art-filled experience could be accessible to all.

Located on a bustling Brooklyn street, Utopia.’s VR art shows and live group painting activities became a vibrant focal point, drawing in crowds from across the city.

The notion of paradise has been a persistent theme throughout art history, often depicted as an idyllic, unattainable realm. Conversely, 'non-places,' a term coined by anthropologist Marc Augé, refers to transient spaces like airports, hotels, and highways—areas that facilitate movement but lack identity and history. By juxtaposing these concepts, "Utopia | Non-Places" invites viewers to reflect on the impermanence of idealized spaces and the human desire to find or create paradise within the ephemeral.

 Utopia. & GSAG ushered in the New Year with the highly anticipated dual-city art exhibition, Symbiosis, held across Shanghai and New York. This landmark event explored the intricate relationships between humanity, nature, technology, and culture, offering art enthusiasts and collectors a chance to engage with profound themes of coexistence.

This exhibition features 40 exceptional designers from 40 countries, each chosen for their creativity and impact on the design world. The theme, Ecotopia, explores how sustainable practices and forward-thinking design shape the future of our environments.

This exhibition is a platform for imagination and discussion, aiming to inspire viewers to rethink technology's impact on values, lifestyles, and human-tech relationships, and explores the impact of technological singularity on human life through various creative mediums. It reimagines relationships between individuals, objects, and the virtual world. It fosters a diverse, creative, and future-oriented platform for co-creating a better future.
