We’re excited to be taking part in Design Victoria 2026!

Design Victoria is a four-day festival celebrating the city’s growing design community — from architecture and interiors to fashion, graphic design, furniture, product design, ceramics, and more. Across the city, designers and creative businesses host exhibitions, open studios, installations, tours, and workshops that invite the public to experience design up close.

Now in its fourth year, Design Victoria transforms the city into a celebration of creativity and design. Visitors can explore studios not normally open to the public, discover the stories behind local design businesses, and experience the ideas shaping Victoria’s creative future.

Design Victoria’s vision is to fill the city with inspiring and accessible ways to experience design — from architecture and fashion to public space and emerging creative practices. The festival strengthens Victoria’s creative economy by connecting designers, businesses, and the public through shared experiences.

From April 30-May 3, this four-day festival celebrates Victoria’s creative community with exhibitions, talks, workshops, tours, film screenings, and more. The full program is now up, and tickets for all events (most of them free including our event!) open tomorrow, April 8 at noon. On May 3rd, we will take you around the St. Michaels University School campus to explore and give insights into how the buildings fit into the school’s vision.
