NxtUp and DesignPhiladelphia
NxtUp Philly is a two–week open calendar of events celebrating Philadelphia’s creativity, commerce and community. Running from October 5 to 16, 2009, NxtUp Philly will feature more than 150 creative and innovative events taking place throughout our region.
So join us at DesignPhiladelphia, the Global Creative Economy Convergence Summit, Ignite Philly, NxtUp Education, Fashion Week and many more creative and innovative events to celebrate what’s “next up” in Philadelphia.
Moving into its fifth year, DesignPhiladelphia is the largest national celebration of its kind. This city-wide cultural event spotlights all things design from architecture to interior design, fashion to product design, textile to graphic design. It’s a journey exploring exhibitions, workshops, studio tours, lectures, special events and product roll-outs that inspire, engage, excite and delight.
Check the DesignPhiladelphia website regularly as the calendar continues to evolve, calls for entry are posted, and news items are shared.
