Chicago Design Week
From cultural institutions to design firms and brands, Chicago Design Week is open source and open door — you are invited to connect, create and promote with us.
Design has been celebrated in Chicago since the city’s inception. Now, Chicago Design Week is our chance to focus the world’s attention on the diversity of the city’s design community by creating a directory of events focused on design in all its forms. Art and design deserves to be seen on the global stage, so come celebrate our past, present, and future in Chicago this June!

Grassroots
Collective organization is a powerful tool, and we believe in using that tool to make Chicago Design Week a success. We’re relying on the design community of Chicago to help us all come together and show support for one another, and we hope to reach internationally as well.
That includes us— if you have questions, want to make a connection in the design community, or know someone who knows someone, please reach out directly so we can offer our help!
Pull focus
The timing of Chicago Design Week coincides with two annual design shows, NeoCon and Fulton Market Design Days, which draw thousands of designers and the international design industry to Chicago.
If you have a design-related event happening the week of June 7th, 2026, this could be your chance to show the world your hard work. The potential is boundless– new partnerships, networking, and promotional opportunities galore.
