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.
2019 – BALANCE
SDF 2019: BALANCE
2019 was the year of BALANCE. From August 16 – 25, the Seattle Design Festival brought together groups, organizations, and individuals from our region and across the globe to explore the role of BALANCE in design. BALANCE asks how design can foster a society that balances the needs of all of its people and the planet. With dozens of events created by leading local arts, architecture, design, urban planning, education, environmental, and technology organizations, the Seattle Design Festival combines a broad range of voices to explore how we can use design to build a more balanced society.
