It’s the week you’ve been waiting for all year…
Anchorage
Design Week
Anchorage Design Week returns February 25–March 1, 2026, with a full slate of events in Anchorage — and some extended events in Fairbanks and Juneau brought to you by Alaska Design Forum.
Presented by the Anchorage Museum in collaboration with Alaska Design Forum, Anchorage Design Week brings together designers, artists, architects, planners, and community members to explore how design shapes life in the North — from public space and infrastructure to culture, landscape, and the future of our cities.
This year’s events include a Design Week kickoff, a multi-city film screening, architectural tours, a city design bus tour, and opportunities for community participation.
Since 1992, our mission has been to broaden the range of discussion about design and the built environment.
We’re proud of our 33-year record of bringing world-class designers, architects, and artists to Alaska.
The Alaska Design Forum is a world-class lecture series, focused on elevating the role of design in the last frontier.
Since 1992, the Alaska Design Forum has held fast to our original core mission: to broaden the discussion around design and the built environment in Alaska.
