Presented by Creative Victoria and delivered by the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV), Melbourne Design Week is a vital platform for emerging and established creative practitioners, offering the Australian design community and audiences the opportunity to engage with a diverse program of talks, tours, exhibitions, installations, and workshops. Visitors can engage with the program throughout metropolitan Melbourne and at hubs across regional Victoria with events taking place at ateliers, studios, retail spaces, universities, galleries, gardens, and public spaces.

The 2024 program, 23 May – 2 June, presents more than 300 innovative presentations and projects responding to the theme ‘Design the World You Want’. Now in its eighth year, the 2024 edition brings into focus the use of energy, ethics, and ecology to encourage positive change, reimagine existing systems and offer innovative design solutions to complex global challenges
