About Us
PRESENTED BY AIGA DC, DC Design Week has created a citywide platform for design dialogue, development, and exchange FOR OVER A DECADE.
Through talks, workshops, exhibitions, tours, gatherings, and experiences across Washington, the week brings together people from different disciplines, industries, and stages of practice to encounter new ideas, expand perspective, share knowledge, and connect through design.Each year introduces a new area of inquiry, creating an opportunity to examine design through different practices, cultural contexts, institutions, communities, and
points of view. 
DC Design Week is hosted by AIGA DC.
