What is Design Week?

Organized by the Anchorage Museum with numerous community partners, Anchorage Design Week is an annual gathering of creative minds to promote and inspire place-based design and imagine the future of our city and the lifeways of Northern regions. Design Week welcomes community members and creatives to consider the role of design in advancing positive futures through visuals, interventions, workshops, and conversations.
 
As we celebrate what makes Alaska distinct, we look forward to connecting with you and our community - and maybe shaking off a bit of cabin fever - as Anchorage Design Week again coincides with Anchorage Fur Rendezvous festivities in late February 2026.
 
The community events for Design Week are organized by the Anchorage Museum with our community partners, the Alaska Design Forum and ASID Alaska. Anchorage Design Week is a member of World Design Weeks.

2026 programming and event details coming soon! Visit this page or follow @anchoragedesignweek on Instagram for updates.

You don't have to wait until February to start creating.
We’re inviting you to join a crowdsourced visual experiment that celebrates what it means to live at Latitude 61°N.

Sketch, collage, photograph, or design your interpretation, and share it with us and your networks. Use the hashtag #ADW2026 and tag @anchoragedesignweek on Instagram so we can see your ideas take shape.

Submit Your Design
Participants have a chance to be invited to an in-person screenprinting workshop in mid-February led by the Anchorage Museum and Tent City Press, where you'll see your work come to life.
