From 23-29 September 2019, Design Week RD will serve as a platform to expose, promote and internationalize architectural, industrial, handicraft and interior design in the Dominican Republic. This celebration of design week will include exhibitions, conversations, retrospectives, workshops, installations and special exhibitions, among other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The event has the backing of the National Competitiveness Council. &#8220;We believe in productivity, export and innovation, the second and third pillars in the Competitive Dominican agenda. That is why we back this great project,&#8221; said Rafael Paz, executive director of the National Competitiveness Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paz emphasized that this event will connect construction and tourism. It also links a series of autochthonous creative industries, art expression, Dominican idiosyncrasy and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I hope that Design Week RD connects all these factors and allows us to turn Santo Domingo, the National District and the entire country into the hub of design and the creative economy of the Caribbean, and as such, add value to producers throughout the region,&#8221; said Paz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jorge Brown, director of Design Week RD, says the initiative inserts Santo Domingo in the international calendar of design fairs. &#8220;Both micro-companies, designers and design brands will benefit from this brand-country project,&#8221; said the organizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brown explained that data from the Central Bank and the Ministry of Culture of the Dominican Republic shows that the creative industries contribute 1.5% of the Gross Domestic Product and give rise to half a million jobs, equivalent to 12.5% of the Dominican labor force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more in Spanish:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/designweekrd.com\/\">Design Week RD<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/eventos.do\/es\/agenda\/detail\/280\/DESIGN-WEEK-RD-2019\">Eventos <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9 September 2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Celebrate the creative industries in the Dominican Republic.
