Good design has the power to change the world in real and meaningful ways. Economically, socially and culturally, good design is a driving force in our lives. Denver Design Week aims to be a platform to promote dialogue and discussion about design and how it relates to our city, state and world. Come support our city and help move design forward by hosting an event, participating on a panel or attending an event.

In 2021, the week-long showcase of design will be October 16th – 24th.

This year’s Denver Design Week smaller, in-person events will be held all over the city as well as virtually on our website via videos.

We are looking for a variety of events in both discipline and type. In the past we’ve included modern home tours, panel presentations, workspace tours, hard hat construction tours, a letterpress studio workshop, and cooking demonstrations, so get creative in your proposal. Attendees at Denver Design Week want to learn and make connections, so all kinds of tours, talks, creative workshops, and presentations are encouraged.

We’ll review all the applications in July and notify you by July 15, if your event has been selected or if we have further questions.
