Join us for this year’s international St Bride Foundation design conference, Sound & Vision, where we’ll explore the connection between music and visual culture – and the ways they shape our cultural landscape.

Our exceptional line-up of speakers will guide us through the rhythm and resonance of design, typography, illustration, videography and more – uncovering the stories, influences, and ideas behind their work.

Print your own letterpress keepsake, settle into a spirited interval debate about the greatest – or worst – album cover ever designed, and meet fellow creatives, makers, thinkers and music-lovers.
