DesignPhiladelphia, now partnering with the University of the Arts, aims to enhance this region’s creative economy and help retain jobs locally. It places Philadelphia in the spotlight as a city unrivalled in innovation and vibrancy – an excellent place to live, work, play and grow. This year we’re topping all our previous celebrations, with more designers, more events, and more opportunities to see, talk, network, exchange, and experience design.
