Take part in the MOST Inspiring & Inclusive KC Design Week ever!
KC Design Week (KCDW) has INFORMED, CONNECTED, and INSPIRED our community since 2010.
KCDW is the perfect example of a creative community coming together, lifting each other up, and proving once again that Kansas City is a design destination, rich with talent.
Thousands of designers, design students, and design-savvy people have experienced our thought-provoking and creativity-boosting programming. This collaborative experience offers opportunities to interact with all areas of design, including architecture, graphics, interiors, products, fashion, landscape architecture, planning, and urban environments.
Vaccination & Mask Requirement
After reviewing the current Covid-19 conditions and staying in line with CDC guidelines, KC Design Week is removing our vaccination requirement from our event policy and continues to strongly encourage wearing masks during this year’s events. The only event that will require masking is the Homes by Architects tour on April 23 while attendees are inside a private residence. Additionally, the Value of Mentoring will require proof of vaccination per the location's policy.
Please also note that Spring Cleaning the Urban Farm, Relearning the Lost Art of Small-Scale Development, Building Net Positive in Northeast KC, Girl Scout Design Challenge Presentation Night, and The Urban Lumber Showcase are all Outsourced Events, and as such they have set their own Covid policies. Those can all be viewed under their event pages on www.kcdesignweek.org.
We will monitor local mandates and recommendations and apply them where required at our various events. Updates to these attendance requirements could be made up to 24 hours in advance of the event starting time.
CANCELLATION POLICY: 100% refund for cancellation made on or before April 18. No refund for cancellation after April 18.
