DesignPhiladelphia 2017

DesignPhiladelphia, the Center / Architecture + Design's signature public festival, will return for its 13th year with over 130 events from October 5th to 14th. DesignPhiladelphia highlights the work of thousands of local designers, architects, and creative professionals to demonstrate Philadelphia's reemergence as a 21st century city shaped by thoughtful design, collaborative business practices, and community engagement.

"DesignPhiladelphia has continued to grow in quantity and quality each year, which speaks volumes about the depth of design talent in the region. Our goal is to highlight the best designers in Philadelphia, as well as introduce new, cutting edge designers to the public," said Rebecca Johnson, Executive Director, Center for Architecture and Design. "This year we are offering more events than ever before, with innovative design installations at our kickoff party, the student designed and constructed Merge outdoor sculpture on Lubert Plaza at Jefferson, neighborhood design crawls, new programming and exhibits, and a special DesignPhiladelphia Pop-Up Shop at the AIA Bookstore, where attendees can purchase works from some of the artists featured at the festival."

As one of the oldest design events in the nation, DesignPhiladelphia annually welcomes more than 25,000 attendees during its ten-day run.
