EOIs open for Adelaide Design Week 2026
Published
Adelaide Design Week returns in October 2026 with the theme every*one, inviting designers, makers, studios, collectives and creative thinkers to submit expressions of interest.
Following its inaugural edition, ADW 2026 will take place from 14th to 18th October 2026, inviting participants to explore ideas of connection, movement, collaboration and the many ways people engage with one another through design.
Founded on ground-up innovation, inclusivity and boundary-pushing creative practice, Adelaide Design Week encourages cross-disciplinary exchange across design, architecture, making, graphics and beyond. The 2026 program calls for projects that challenge traditional modes of creating and making, opening space for experimentation, dialogue and unexpected collaboration.

The theme every*one sets the tone for a broad and inclusive program, welcoming all disciplines, scales and interpretations. Whether led by an established studio, an emerging designer, a collective, a venue or an independent thinker, ADW is seeking ideas that bring people together and expand the role of design in public and creative life.
“If you’re a designer, maker, studio, collective, venue or thinker with a stirring idea or looking to re-ignite a dormant creative flame, this is your call to action,” says the ADW team.
Expressions of interest are now open and close 1 June 2026.
