BUILD Magazine Joins Sponsors of Desert Design Week Spring 2026 in Scottsdale

Desert Design Week is set to return for its highly anticipated Spring 2026 edition, bringing a curated lineup of art, architecture, and design-focused experiences to Phoenix and Scottsdale from April 16–23, 2026.

Now entering its third year, Desert Design Week has quickly become one of the Southwest’s most anticipated design events. The decentralized festival brings together artists, architects, designers, builders, and makers through a curated lineup of experiences including workshops, exhibitions, home tours, pop-up markets, and panel discussions.

Founded by Ruth Price, Desert Design Week was created to foster meaningful connections within the creative community while showcasing the diverse voices shaping the design landscape of the Sonoran Desert.

Desert Design Week Announces Preliminary Spring Edition Schedule: Biannual art, architecture, and design festival returns to Phoenix and Scottsdale April 16-23

“My goal with Desert Design Week is to offer a selection of varied experiences that bring people together around a shared love of art, design, and architecture,” says Price. “Some events will be intimate, while others will take place on a grander scale. I encourage those interested to sign up early because many of the experiences sell out quickly.”

A Week of Design, Creativity, and Community

The Spring 2026 edition will feature a wide range of events across the region, including:

  • MADE (Materials for Designers) featuring artist Rhiannon Griego, hosted at MADE Resource Group’s new 3,000-square-foot showroom
  • “A Little Bit Extra” Cookbook Tour Stop with Chef Reilly Meehan at Biltmore Fashion Park
  • A Feng Shui design session hosted at Âme Bohème by Bohemy Houz
  • The Wild Echoes Original Art Group Show curated by Blayne Pearche
  • Makers Market at Local Nomad, featuring original works from regional artists
  • The Green Room LA Home & Garden Tour, exploring desert-adapted landscape design
  • A marketing and branding conversation with Ashley Murphy of Rare Beauty
  • Design workshops and panel discussions featuring leading architects and designers
  • An immersive home experience with Modern Nest in collaboration with Ranch Mine architecture
  • A panel discussion hosted by Cameron Custom Homes & Renovations at The Silverleaf Club

Additional events will continue to be added to the lineup leading up to the festival.

Tickets for Desert Design Week events will be released mid-March, and attendees are encouraged to join the mailing list at desertdesignweek.com for early access.

Celebrating Design in the Desert

Anchored in the vibrant creative energy of the Sonoran Desert, Desert Design Week serves as a platform for visionary designers, artists, architects, and makers to showcase their work and inspire new perspectives across the Southwest design community.
