Design Montréal Itinerary

Following the call for entries issued jointly with Archi-Design QC at the beginning of the year, 15 proposals were selected to make up the first-ever Design Montréal Itinerary, to be held during Montréal Design Week. This circuit of activities will showcase some of the city’s emerging design collectives as well as its multidisciplinary creativity.

The City of Montréal provided support for the creation of the Parcours Design Montréal to make it a key event in the celebrations surrounding the 20th anniversary of its designation as a City of Design member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network. The Parcours is an opportunity for everyone in the community to come out and meet designers, and appreciate the diversity and vitality of their practice.
