Design Weekend

Design Weekend Anchorage creates connections throughout the city and state and draws international parallels. Design Weekend focuses on connecting the public to design through a series of programs that celebrate, educate and inspire and prompt discussion about the role design and a specific visual and conceptual identity plays in Alaska and the North — to establish a sense of place, community and aspiration. Design Weekend creates collaborative opportunities where allied design professionals come together to enliven the city and to blur boundaries between disciplines, ideas, and talents. Design Weekend encourages a new definition of what Alaska is visually through highlighting distinct local materials, voices, images, and ideas. $20 one-day pass, $50 three-day pass, $400 institutional pass for up to 10 people. Scholarship opportunities available; see anchoragemuseum.org/designweekend for details.
