Define Design.

As makers and problem solvers, we constantly challenge and question what design is. Is it art with purpose? Aesthetics backed by intent? A research-driven tool for change? A reimagined concept? A new question asked?

Maybe it’s all of the above. And maybe that’s where our ideas and our questions begin to breed chaos.

NASHVILLE DESIGN WEEK is a week-long, city- wide series of events showcasing emerging design talent, making space for creative and critical conversations about our industry, and opening studio doors in order to broaden and strengthen Nashville’s design community.

We showcase our city’s talent, unite the broader design community through collaboration, and provide resources that make design more accessible to the public.
