Design Weeks are popping up across the country, and it’s time for Boston to get in the mix with one of its own. But to make Boston Design Week a reality we need your participation, your excitement, and most importantly… your best ideas.

Join us for a town hall meeting and help us build the vision for a Boston Design Week that is relevant, impactful, and fun.

What should Boston Design Week look like? We’re not sure. What we do know is that we want it to be a citywide design festival stacked with cool events that bring together artists and creatives to talk, listen, see, learn, and celebrate.

Got an opinion but can't attend the town hall meeting?

Fill out our quick online survey and give us your best ideas for what Boston’s Design Week can be!
