Design Openings is the result of the Sam Fox School and the Pulitzer’s shared commitment to contribute to the creative futures of St. Louis through art, design, and culture. The organizations have collaborated on art and design projects for over a decade, including work in the Grand Center Arts District. Past projects include national design competitions with Freecell Architecture (2013) and Amanda Williams and Andres Hernandes (2017), and invitational residencies with Jordan Weber (2021) and Kotchakorn Voraakhom (2023).

Design Openings is supported by the endowment from Emily Rauh Pulitzer, which supports collaborative projects between Washington University in St. Louis and the Pulitzer Art Foundation that enhance the creative life of St. Louis.
