We celebrate the moments that change the way we make\, connect\, transport and express\, whether in art\, science\, culture\, or design.  \nDesign is a key component of how the Anchorage Museum looks at our Northern place and a key component of our work. Design is optimistic. Designers focus on what could be and are tasked with removing obstacles\, dealing with constraints and finding unexpected solutions. \nTo take on a big challenge\, especially one as large and intractable as poverty\, we have to believe in progress. Optimism embraces possibility\, the idea that even if we don’t know the answer\, it is out there\, and we can find it. \nHuman-centered designers focus on what could be rather than on the potential obstacles. Constraints are inevitable\, and often they push designers toward unexpected solutions. But it’s our core belief that every problem is solvable. \nThe fourth annual Anchorage Design Week happens October 4-12\, 2019\, at the Anchorage Museum. The nine-day event includes keynotes and talks\, workshops\, and weekend socials covering everything from architecture and fashion to furniture and food. Through the theme Futures Possible\, Design Week looks at design and ideas that imagine the future through large vision and optimistic problem solving. \nThis year Anchorage Design Week pairs with SEED Lab to create a design community across the North with acclaimed designers\, the leading local design thinkers\, and the next generation of design with programs for all ages. Anchorage Design Week collaborators include Alaska Design Forum and AIGA Alaska. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n There are workshops on a variety of topics throughout the week. \nPhotos by Jodyo.Photos \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n A few of the opening weekend events include: \nTent City Press Screen Printing6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Friday\, October 4\, Anchorage Museum \nStop by the Anchorage Museum for First Friday and Design Week kick-off\, featuring Tent City Press\, among other activities.
