DesignPhiladelphia – the largest event of its kind in the nation – became even larger this year. This unprecedented city-wide cultural festival featured more than 135 exhibitions, workshops, studio tours, lectures, special events, book signings, installations, and product roll-outs. With events happening from LOVE Park to Northern Liberties, Old City to West Philadelphia, Center City to Manayunk, Fishtown to the Schuylkill River Banks, it was hard to miss the creative community thriving in Philadelphia and beyond. Stay tuned for 2009 event photos, as well as information on upcoming design programs happening throughout the year.
Thanks to everyone for making DesignPhiladelphia 2009 such a huge success!
