Adelaide Design Week (ADW) will return in 2026 following a successful inaugural program, with expressions of interest now open to participants across the design spectrum.
Set to run from 14–18 October, the upcoming edition is themed “Everyone”, focusing on connection, collaboration and the ways design shapes how people engage with one another. The program invites contributions that explore movement, shared experience and cross-disciplinary exchange.
Founded on principles of inclusivity and experimentation, ADW positions itself as a platform for both emerging and established creatives to test ideas and challenge conventional modes of practice. Designers, architects, makers, studios and collectives are encouraged to propose events, installations, talks or exhibitions that push boundaries and foster meaningful dialogue.
With an emphasis on accessibility and participation across disciplines and scales, the week aims to create space for new perspectives and untapped creative potential within South Australia’s design community and beyond.
Expressions of interest close on 1 June 2026, and can be submitted here.
