DownCity Design

Our design education programs and youth-built projects wouldn’t be possible without community support. We are grateful for the sponsorship of several local firms who are helping us train the next generation of innovators. Today we’d like to thank Dimeo Construction for their support of DCD in 2024! . Over the last 90 years, Dimeo has gained recognition as one of the leading construction organizations in New England. From their team, “We're inspired by DownCity Design's work empowering youth through design. Your programs make a real difference, and we're proud to support you again!” Visit Dimeo Construction Company to learn more about their work. #dimeo #dimeoconstruction #downcitydesign #togetherwebuild #design #providence #rhodeisland?

This Thankful Thursday, DownCity Design would like to thank our generous sponsor?Utile! From their team: "At Utile, we recognize that design can best facilitate just, equitable, and sustainable environments when those leading the work reflect the diverse and vibrant communities we serve. As our office deepens its roots in Providence, we’ve chosen to support DownCity Design because their efforts align with our commitment to expanding pathways into the design community for BIPOC youth. Their programming is cultivating a new generation of designers and builders who will bring fresh perspectives to the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow, and we’re excited to be part of that transformation." Thank you for helping us work towards a more vibrant, sustainable future of design,?Utile!
