Dundee Design Month programme released

The first Dundee Design Month was announced yesterday with the release of a programme containing more than 50 brilliant design related activities, workshops, exhibitions, tours, talks, events and festivals all taking place over just four weeks in May.

An initiative of the team behind the delivery of Dundee’s UNESCO City of Design designation and the hugely successful Dundee Design Festival, this design month celebrates design in all its forms and brings together the huge range of design activity that happens across the city in the month of May in one handy brochure and website.

Anna Day, Project Manager UNESCO City of Design Dundee said, ‘

‘It has always been an ambition of our team to deliver a festival programme like this. Other global cities have long enjoyed the benefits that a Design Month brings to their cities and with events taking place in major venues, hidden corners, galleries, cafes, libraries and new spaces Dundee Design Month will introduce people in Dundee to the makers, thinkers and doers who build on our cities strong design foundations every day.’

Annie Marrs, Project Coordinator, Dundee Design Month said,’

‘In 2018, the year that we open V&A Dundee, Scotland’s only museum dedicated to design, Dundee is making a bold statement about the type of city it is and the type of city it wants to be. Events and festivals like the Dundee Design Month, contribute towards making the city a rich and vibrant place for the people who live here and those who visit our city.’
