DC Design Week creates space for creative exchange across the city. Presented by AIGA DC, the week brings together designers, creative professionals, students, studios, institutions, and community partners to explore how design shapes culture, connection, learning, and impact.

DC Design Week is made possible by partners who believe in the value of creative exchange. From local businesses to global brands, cultural institutions, studios, agencies, and community organizations, our partners help bring the week to life across the city.

Partnerships may include hosting programs, providing venues or hospitality, supporting production, contributing expertise, or creating experiences that connect with designers, creative leaders, and the broader DC community. Contact dcdw@dc.aiga.org for more info.

DC Design Week is powered by the creative community. Each year, volunteers and organizers help bring the week to life by supporting programming, welcoming guests, assisting speakers, managing events, capturing content, and shaping the overall experience.

As part of the team, you’ll play an essential role in building a week that champions design as a profession, a language, and a tool for connection and impact. Apply here.
