In December 2015, Detroit was designated as a UNESCO City of Design, a recognition bestowed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization on cities demonstrating a legacy of and commitment to creativity as a tool for economic development. Joining 21 Cities of Design (now 30) and 180 Creative Cities across the globe, Detroit is the first and only U.S. city to receive the designation.
Design is all around us and Detroit Month of Design is here to show the world why thoughtful design matters now more than ever. Design Core has organized a fun and educational program, featuring both local and international guests, that can be enjoyed in-person or from the comfort of home. Whether you want to experience something new, discover talent, or learn about how design impacts our lives, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
