ABOUT MELBOURNE DESIGN WEEK
Creative Victoria and the NGV launched Melbourne Design Week in 2017 – a major new four-year design initiative conceived as an ambitious and collaborative program that underscores Melbourne’s position as a global design city.
In 2018 Melbourne Design Week looks at the theme Design Effects and delves into the wide-reaching nature of design in its broadest sense. From the physical to the creation of experiences, services and identities, it asks: what effect does design have on the environment around us? How is design a catalyst for change? ngv.vic.gov.au/melbourne-design-week
