CEA Gathers Local Creative Network to Shape CMDW2025

The Creative Economy Agency (Public Organization) Chiang Mai recently hosted a collaborative meeting with over 20 local partners, including creative professionals, academic institutions, and public and private organizations, to reflect on the outcomes of Chiang Mai Design Week (CMDW) from the past year and to gather insights and recommendations for the upcoming festival.

The session aimed to foster dialogue among key stakeholders to co-develop the direction of CMDW2025, ensuring it continues to reflect and amplify the creative potential of the region. This year, the festival marks its 11th edition under the theme “Local Plus”, which envisions Northern Thailand as a thriving hub of positive thinking, creative energy, and limitless collaboration. The theme focuses on elevating Chiang Mai and the North through local strengths and global connections.

CMDW2025 will take place from 6–14 December 2025, inviting all to explore the power of Northern Thai creativity and its capacity to generate meaningful, lasting impact.

Let’s come together in Chiang Mai to celebrate creativity with a positive spark that reaches far beyond the local!
