What If… the next generation of designers and community organizations had more support?
This year the Seattle Design Festival is investing over $12,000 back into our community by way of funding awards and waived submission fees.
We are thrilled to announce that we have extended funding awards to 20 outstanding partners for the 2024 Seattle Design Festival! These partners demonstrated a strong need for support and aligned with our mission to create an inclusive, innovative, and community-focused event.
We look forward to seeing the incredible contributions from our funded partners and how they will help make the 2024 Seattle Design Festival a memorable and transformative event. Stay tuned for more updates and details on their exciting projects!
Make your own investment in our design community by making a gift to the Seattle Design Festival. Your contribution can help us keep the Festival an inclusive experience for all.
