St. Louis Design Week

St. Louis was established as a gateway to exploration, intended to pass through or fly over. And yet, St. Louis continues to grow and expand, establishing itself as a community of artists, innovators, makers, and self-starters. We have created our own destinations, adventure, and joy within a city we love.

Spanning the week of October 13th to 17th, 2025, this event transforms St. Louis neighborhoods into hubs for creative exchange, professional growth, and educational enrichment. We feature activities that include workshops, panel discussions, studio tours, and keynote speeches, and participants have the unique opportunity to engage directly with other designers of all types, explore new trends and inspiration, and gain insights into the future of the field.

Last year, panels, workshops, and events across St. Louis's creative district brought together more than one thousand designers, artists, and creative professionals for STL Design Week. The 70+ sessions ranged from professional development and career insights to hands-on workshops and studio tours. Hosted by STL.org, these events were organized and run exclusively by dedicated volunteers. They featured local creative leaders and community members showcasing their expertise at partner venues throughout Midtown Alley and surrounding neighborhoods.

This celebration not only highlights the diversity of St. Louis’s design community but also encourages those connections that bridge professions and industries, showcasing our city as a center for creativity. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or simply a lover of great design, St. Louis Design Week offers experiences that inspire, educate, and connect. Join us to celebrate the power of design in shaping our world and discover the innovative spirit of St. Louis.

Join us, because we are still creating.
