First and foremost, thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

However you found your way to us—whether through volunteering, attending, speaking, hosting a workshop, or simply following along—you make this organization what it is. Indy Design Week exists because of people like you.

I’ve been part of this organization since 2019, and watching it grow into what it is today has been nothing short of incredible. This past year, we hosted our largest festival yet, and our reach continues to expand further than ever before.

‍

But we need your help to keep that momentum going.

Like many nonprofits, we’re feeling the impact of art funding cuts—including our largest 2025 grant (nearly half our event budget) being paused indefinitely. So this November, we’re launching the Support Indy Design campaign in partnership with our friends at Flags for Good.

‍

This community-wide effort will directly fund our 2026 programming and move us one step closer to our ultimate goal:

a festival that’s 100% free to the public by 2029

‍

You can also support our mission by donating. Proceeds from every donation will directly support our 2026 programming—the talks, workshops, and experiences that make design accessible to all.
