Six cities - design festival
17 May - 3 June 2007
The six cities of Scotland - Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness and Stirling—will host the country’s first nationwide international design festival, promoting and celebrating Scottish design.
The Festival presents an imaginative programme of exhibitions, events, keynote speakers, talks, tours and more, taking place alongside two major continuing programmes - Design into Business and Learning.
The Festival’s national exhibition - The Scottish Show 07 - is the most important expo of Scottish design ever, opening at The Lighthouse on 17 May.
Design into Business is a programme for the business community and designers alike. The programme will demonstrate how good design is good business and will include master classes, online resources, case studies and international initiatives, culminating in a major design conference.
The Learning programme focuses on education and design communities, to encourage innovation, business knowledge, creative entrepreneurship, talent incubation and talent retention. It will play a major role in connecting educational bodies with the design industry.
