DIFFA raises awareness and grants funds to organizations that fight HIV/AIDS by providing treatment and direct care services for people living with or impacted by the disease, offering preventative education programs targeted to populations at risk of infection, or supporting public policy initiatives. DIFFA is one of the largest funders of HIV/AIDS service and education programs in the United States, mobilizing the immense resources and creativity of the design community. Since its founding in 1984, DIFFA has emerged from a grassroots organization into a national foundation based in New York City with chapters and community partners across the country that, working together, have provided more than $41 million to hundreds of HIV/AIDS organizations nationwide. www.DIFFA.org

At the conclusion of the program, the audience will break into small groups each led by one of the designers, for a “designer’s eye” tour of the show. Moderated by HGTV personality Robin Baron, with Alan Tanksley, Eric M. Haydel, and Nancy Serafini.
“The way that people collect and how they furnish their homes has dramatically changed,” Fusco notes. “The trend to downsize from larger homes to high-rise luxury condominiums, the emergence of a younger collector interested in owning iconic works of their own generation, a more racially and ethnically diverse population, and less stylistically restrictive interior design that embraces both old and new -- all of this called for a new kind of show.”
