Anchorage Design week is Anchorage, Alaska's, annual festival celebrating Northern design.
What Happens During Anchorage Design Week?
Held during Anchorage Fur Rendezvous, the week is a chance to connect, collaborate, and shake off cabin fever with design-driven energy. From visual storytelling to urban interventions, the programming welcomes diverse voices to consider how design can advance more just, sustainable, and imaginative futures.

Design with us
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.
