DESIGN Canberra is calling for projects that celebrate and promote Canberra as a living design laboratory, a global city of design.
The ACT’s fastest growing festival, DESIGN Canberra 2018 will celebrate the strong geometry present throughout our city and the ways it creates human, creative and global connections from Australia’s city of design.
DESIGN Canberra will transform the nation’s capital, hosting over 100 events. Now in its fifth year, DESIGN Canberra links makers and designers with new audiences and forge unexpected collaborations and marketplace connections.
Last year, over 94,000 people engaged with the festival’s curated program of exhibitions, talks, tours, collaborations, open homes and artist studios, activations and markets showcasing the best in design.
How can I get involved?
Proposals from across all design disciplines are encouraged align with the festival values, ambitions and aspirations including: contemporary, relevant, exploratory and authentic.
Whether you are an individual maker, a collective, a cultural or educational institution, a business, a researcher or a government agency, the festival provides a platform for a multi-faceted exploration of design arts and creative industries. DESIGN Canberra is attracting more, and new, audiences each year.
