Tender Description
DESIGN Canberra is calling for projects for the 2021 festival which celebrate design excellence, design history and/or design education. We especially encourage proposals which respond to the theme of 'transformation'.
DESIGN Canberra celebrates and promotes Canberra as a living design laboratory, a global city of design. DESIGN Canberra has resonated with ever-increasing audiences near and far because design is in our city’s DNA. DESIGN Canberra is a powerful platform to promote design and the work of designers. Presented annually since 2014, DESIGN Canberra has grown to embrace a regional and global focus, becoming a critical and collaborative forum for contemporary, relevant, experimental and authentic design.
DESIGN Canberra festival
8-28 November 2021
How to get involved—
In calling for proposals from across all design disciplines, we encourage a spirit of collaboration where the creative community works together to showcase the best in contemporary design. We welcome proposals which align with the festival values, ambitions and aspirations including: contemporary, relevant, exploratory and authentic.
Whether you are an individual maker, a collective, a cultural or educational institution, a business, a researcher or a government agency, the festival provides a platform for a multi-faceted exploration of design, arts and creative industries. DESIGN Canberra is attracting more, and more deeply engaged, audiences each year.
There are many ways to get involved:
• Architecture: Architects and homeowners are invited to propose recent projects for both contemporary and heritage architecture programs. Architecture programs are always popular with festival audiences and offer a rare opportunity for festival visitors to explore some of Canberra’s finest houses and built design.
• Exhibitions: Artists and galleries with exhibitions representing design and/or speaking to the festival theme are invited to submit a proposal for inclusion in the 2021 program. Exhibitions must coincide at least in part with the festival dates (8-28 November 2021)
• Engagement: DESIGN Canberra welcomes proposals that speak to festival values and themes that may include events, tours, workshops, activations, installations, design-related performances, public talks, publication launches, food and drink experiences, wellness, online works or research.
Please note: A separate call-out for DESIGN Canberra Open Studios will happen in early 2021.
DESIGN Canberra encourages Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander designers to submit proposals for the festival program.
A curatorial panel will review the proposals and determine which ideas make a good fit with the 2021 festival program.
