ABOUT US
Design Week Sacramento is a weeklong celebration of Sacramento’s design community. Throughout the week, we host Lectures, Panels, Workshops, Networking Events, Studio Tours, and more! All events are hosted by our local design community with the mission to improve the awareness of, and access to, the diverse careers that make up our creative economy.
Following our inaugural Design Week in 2019, we formed Design Sacramento, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, in 2019 to support our programming throughout the year. In 2021, we teamed up with our partners to launch Capitol Creative Alliance (CCA), a regional nonprofit arts network that brings creatives together for education, inspiration and connections. Our mission is to champion and inspire the creative community to build a thriving Sacramento region.
We continue to work as a fully volunteer-led team. Our dedicated and talented team of volunteers work together to create something beautiful each year, and we could not be more thrilled with the Design Week team we have this year.
