Elevating Edmonton through design.

Since 2000, MADE has been working to build the Edmonton design community.

For over two decades, MADE has been dedicated to nurturing and enhancing Edmonton's vibrant design landscape. Through an array of events, advocacy efforts, and fostering a supportive social hub for creatives, we strive to elevate the design discourse and create positive change within our city.

What we do

At MADE, we annually organize events tailored for design enthusiasts keen on expanding their knowledge of media, architecture, and design in Edmonton. Our gatherings cater to professionals and design-enthusiasts alike, who have an interest in creative work and community. Each event fosters networking opportunities and connections with like-minded individuals who are eager to collaborate and advance their craft. Learn more about our upcoming and past events, including the 2024 Edmonton Design Week below.

“Talks, tours, receptions and open houses at design firms Edmonton Design Week is Canada's finest celebration of creative minds improving cities.”

– Trevor Boddy - FRAIC Architecture Critic and Curator, Vancouver
