DesignPhiladelphia is back October 13-23, once again showcasing the powerful role that design has played both historically and today in Philadelphia.
Nearly 500 artists, professionals and students alike, will be represented in practically every design discipline, including automotive, product and interior design, graphic design, architecture, multi-media and urban planning.
Events include exhibitions, lectures, workshops and demos, many free, to help shine a light on the city?s design scene and history. And a few awesome events are food and drink-related, adding even more flavor to an already spicy schedule.
