Vancouver is our home, and we take care of our design community by showing up for one another.

11 days. 45 Open Studios. 52 events. A look back at Design Vancouver Festival 2026 and what we built together. Studio doors opened, ideas were shared and new connections were made.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed us into their spaces, shared their work and came out to explore.

And thank you to @whentheyfindus for capturing these moments across the festival. It means so much to look back and see our community come together.

Let’s keep showing up for one another.
