Organized by the Anchorage Museum with community partners\, Anchorage Design Week is an annual gathering of creative minds to promote and inspire place-based design and imagine the future of our city and the life-ways of Northern regions.
\n\nAs we celebrate what makes Alaska distinct\, we look forward to connecting with you and our community - and maybe shaking off a bit of cabin fever - as Anchorage Design Week again coincides with Anchorage Fur Rendezvous festivities in late February.

The community events for Design Week are organized by the Anchorage Museum with community partners \;Alaska Design Forum \;and \;AIGA Alaska. Anchorage Design Week is a member of \;World Design Weeks.
\nDesign Week welcomes community members and creatives to consider the role of design in advancing positive futures through visuals\, interventions\, workshops\, and conversations. This year\, we consider how sustainable materials and practices foster inclusivity\, safety and community within Anchorage'\;s Fairview neighborhood. Fairview recently was awarded a Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program Grant funding efforts to reconnect communities impacted by challenging transportation infrastructure. \;
\nThrough the lens of design\, we'\;ll consider how creative solutions implemented in vibrant and vital neighborhoods like Fairview can shape Anchorage&rsquo\;s future. \;We'\;ll also share how artists are cultivating wellness and care inspired by Northern-appropriate materials in the Anchorage Museum exhibition \;How to Survive. \;
\nAnchorage&rsquo\;s annual design festival features the best of the local design scene alongside international perspectives. We also welcome your feedback and shared thoughts about community and project partners who may have interest in Anchorage Design Week and its initiatives. This may include vendors and content experts willing to provide a continuing education session or financial support for community projects.
