In 2015, Detroit became the first and only UNESCO City of Design in the United States, joining a global network that recognizes design as a driver of sustainable urban and economic development. Ten years later, Designing Detroit reflects on a decade of transformation, collaboration, and innovation. This exhibition explores the story and impact of Design Core Detroit, the stewards of Detroit’s City of Design designation, and how design has shaped the city’s identity, addressing challenges and envisioning a more equitable, resilient, and creative future.

Designing Detroit is a dynamic exhibition that showcases the power of design, technology and creative thinking in all of its forms. We invite professionals from across the design landscape: transportation, architecture, fashion, urban planning, brand, product and UX, in a moment of historic expression. Through historical reflection and contemporary perspectives, the exhibition highlights the work of Design Core, Detroit-based designers, organizations, and community initiatives that have redefined the city’s landscape.

Open Tuesday-Saturday, 12pm-6pm.
Closed on Sundays and Mondays.
