For the first time ever, DesignPhiladelphia is taking over Bok, a historic vocational school closed by the School District of Philadelphia in 2013. Today 60,000 square feet within the building is filled with jewelers, architects, furniture makers, fashion designers, milliners, product designers, artists, charitable organizations. DesignPhiladelphia will be filling the first floor of Bok with interactive design installations and programs throughout the Festival. 

In addition, this year the AIA Philadelphia’s regional conference Forum on Architecture + Design (formerly Design on the Delaware), will be held in conjunction with DesignPhiladelphia at Bok from October 3-5, 2018.  Exhibitors for DesignPhiladelphia will have their brand and their exhibition or installation seen by the Forum conference attendees, as well as the DesignPhiladelphia audience.
