About	/about/	about	has-hero header subheader image imageAlt true About DCDW DC Design Week (DCDW) is an annual celebration of DC’s creative community: an ever-growing body of professionals, makers, and voices working across disciplines. We aspire to foster conversations that will challenge, excite, and promote change. This year, we’re shifting our focus to feature events curated and hosted by our community. Local makers can expect our vision for the future to be pluralistic and our art and design practices to contain a multitude of perspectives and experiences. /uploads/image-about-hero.png Collage made up of a yellow abstract shape, and transparent tape flanking a photograph of a blurred Metro train in motion.

We want to lean into the call and response nature of design and the grassroots history of the District; with a focus on the DMV’s unique local flavor and its impact, particularly Gogo music and culture. Design constitutes different points of reference. Local makers can expect our vision for the future to be pluralistic and our art and design practices to contain a multitude of perspectives and experiences.	true	/uploads/image-hyperlocal.png	Provide Image Alt	Sponsors and Partners	DC Design Week is 100% volunteer-run, and it wouldn’t be the same without our partners and sponsors.
