The 20^th edition of the PAVE Gala is set to bring the best and brightest in visual retail to the Duggal Greenhouse on Dec. 7 for dinner, cocktails, entertainment and lively networking.

2016 marks the first year Duggal’s Brooklyn Navy Yard venue will host the Planning and Visual Education Partnership’s annual fundraiser, which bridges students and esteemed professionals in every area of retail including visual merchandising, management, store planning, architecture and manufacturing. The evening will also spotlight the winners of PAVE’s 2016 Rising Star Awards, along with the top 2016 Student Design Competition projects, sponsored by The Kroger Co. and presented by Duggal Innovation Lab. This year PAVE will award more than $150,000 to students and schools in support of retail environments studies.

“With the ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘why’ firmly in place we decided to revamp the ‘where’, and stage the 2016 Gala in a truly stunning venue,” the organization’s website says. “The Duggal Greenhouse, the only venue of its kind with sweeping skyline views of Manhattan, provides the kind of cutting edge backdrop–steeped in history yet embracing the future–capable of capturing everything that PAVE stands for.”

As a passionate supporter of PAVE, Duggal is ecstatic to see this year’s Gala come to life at the Duggal Greenhouse. To learn more and purchase tickets, click here.
