A Seat at the Farmer’s Table

Your gift powers design for all. As a volunteer-powered 501c(3) nonprofit, we rely on the generous giving of our supporters to bring free and affordable programs to 10,000+ people citywide every year.

The Seattle Design Festival is a platform for bold design conversations. We believe that design is for everyone and that inclusive co-design practices are essential to shaping an equitable Seattle. We are multidisciplinary, socially engaged and civic minded.

Align your business with our region’s largest multidisciplinary design event attracting design professionals, business innovators, students, and enthusiasts. Boost your visibility, invest in your team, and show care for your community by sponsoring the Festival!

Together we will reveal the power of design—how it transforms ideas, spaces, and communities. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a passionate enthusiast, everyone is invited to propose impactful programs or installations.

Thank you for joining us for SDF’25: FEEDBACK – 6 days of transformative programming designed to unleash the design thinker in everyone and build more equitable communities through design.

A Seat at the Farmer’s Table is a vibrant, functional installation designed in partnership with Black Star Farmers. Created as a lasting amenity for their Columbia City home base, it offers a welcoming space for neighbors to rest, recharge, and connect. Built with community needs in mind, the seating area will support events and provide everyday comfort for those passing through—offering a small but meaningful way to engage with the mission of Black Star Farmers.
