What is the VignettesDesign Series Festival?

The Design Series festival is an annual event hosted by Vignettes™. The festival brings together local architects, designers, artists, and makers to bring their best in collaboration and co-creation to build multi-sensory environments and dynamic installations.

Every year, the company takes over under-utilized properties in the downtown core and reinvigorates the spaces to draw in over 20,000 visitors during its festival run.

To date, Vignettes™ has transformed over 100, 000 square feet of vacant spaces in Edmonton’s downtown core.

  • Our festival aims to bring local creative communities together while celebrating art and design in our city. We add vibrancy to the downtown core through awe-inspiring installations and curated events.

  • Our journey begins here. In 2016, we took over a 20,000 square foot space and built installations and pop up restaurants in the downtown core.

  • Over 100 local creative entrepreneurs & businesses were involved in this festival.

  • Participating teams came together to build pop restaurants for local chefs | 2016

  • Our production team created a 20ft tree out of reclaimed bark | 2016

  • In 2017, we moved into a vacant warehouse. Each gathering space represented a different Canadian Landscape

  • The infamous Blue Room aka the Tidal Pool Bar | 2017

  • 2018 was the year of EXPLORE where we transformed an empty bank into an interactive art Gallery

  • Hidden rooms and speakeasys are a festival staple.

  • 2019 was the year of MUSE, ours being Yayoi Kasuma and her infinite red dots.

  • The Gatsby Inspired Speakeasy hosts intimate gatherings and live music.

  • Designers, artists, makers and builders come together for this festival to have full creative freedom to design and build to their hearts' desire.
