The Seattle Design Festival is a reflection of our community- an opportunity to showcase and amplify the conversations driving design in our city. We would not exist without you- and the hundreds of other community members who bring forward proposals and support the Festival each year.
How will you shape this year’s Festival?
Submit a proposal to bring forward a Built Installation, Pop-Up Experience, or Mainstage Program. Proposals are DUE MAY 29, 5 PM PT. The submissions received will be reviewed by our Festival Planning Team, composed entirely of volunteers from our community. This team will be looking for proposals that directly relate to the annual theme and demonstrate alignment with our Festival goals.
Need support? Join us at the May 22nd Spring Mixer to meet the team and bring forward any questions you may have!
