Detroit Month of Design is a citywide collaboration of creativity that gathers designers, consumers, residents and the greater community to celebrate Detroit’s role as a national and global design capital. Detroit Month of Design returns for its 15th annual edition this September 1-30, 2025!
Every September, partners across Detroit—from emerging studios to established companies and educational institutions—come together to show off their latest works and ideas. These cross-disciplinary events take place in all corners of the city, highlighting the talent and innovation that makes Detroit a UNESCO City of Design.
From Inclusive Design workshops like The Design Jam to retail + designer matchmaking initiatives like Shop & See, to community events like Eastern Market After Dark, The Detroit Month of Design showcases the transformative power of design.
Design Core Detroit is the 501c3 in charge of producing The Detroit Month of Design and stewarding Detroit's UNESCO City of Design designation.
