The region’s most important platform for regional design and creativity, as well as an active catalyst for the growth of the creative community in the UAE, Dubai Design Week is an annual week-long festival celebrating design and creativity in the UAE and beyond through an extensive programme of free-to-attend exhibitions, pop-ups and installations, alongside engaging activities, talks and workshops, accessible for visitors at all levels, staged at the festival’s main hub in Dubai Design District (d3) and around the city.
Key components of the Week include Downtown Design, the region’s leading fair for high-quality and original design; MENA Grad Show, an exhibition of impact innovation projects from students studying in universities across the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA); and Abwab, the annually re-modelled platform for creative talent from the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.
Dubai Design Week is owned and managed by the Art Dubai Group, staged in strategic partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), and supported by Dubai Culture & Arts Authority and A.R.M. Holding.
