The Design Canberra festival celebrates Canberra as a creative capital and a global city of design.
Design is in Canberra’s DNA with First Nation people’s strong ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this city and region – in which making, and design are embedded within cultural practice. Canberra has always been a dynamic design laboratory and place of creative enterprise which is embodied in the Griffins’ visionary design for the city, Canberra’s iconic modernist architecture; and it’s thriving contemporary sustainable design, craft and art industries.
From 2-20 November 2022, DESIGN Canberra will experiment with new ideas and expand the most successful programs into new directions in the 2022 festival. Over 200 events, exhibitions, talks, tours, activations, markets, collaborations, artist studios and open homes will once again transform the nation’s capital into a new platform for the best in design. The festival, now in its 8th year, is for all interests and ages and most events are free.
The festival also includes the Design, Anytime platform, a program designed to connect with audiences who cannot physically make it to Canberra during the festival. This new program includes recorded talks, artist interviews, exhibition catalogues, exhibition tours, self-guided tours of iconic architecture and contemporary design throughout Canberra. This will promote and celebrate Canberra as a global city of design every day of the year.
