The Experience

DesignPhiladelphia represents hundreds of artists, professionals and students alike in practically every design discipline, including automotive, product and interior design, graphic design, architecture, multimedia and urban planning.

Events typically include exhibitions, lectures, workshops and demonstrations to help shine a light on the city’s design scene and history. Most events are free and open to the public.
