The Deck 2026 Kickoff Party

We are excited to celebrate a major milestone for the Dallas creative community. The Deck turns 10 this year, and we are kicking off the anniversary edition with a special event to launch the 2026 project.

The Deck is an annual collaborative project where 54 creatives each design a unique playing card, resulting in a beautifully printed limited edition deck. Over the past decade, this project has brought together designers, illustrators, and creatives across Dallas to celebrate creativity, collaboration, and community.

Join us at as we officially launch The Deck 2026. During the event we will reveal this year’s theme and open sign ups for designers who want to participate. Whether you are returning to design another card or joining for the first time, the kickoff party is the perfect opportunity to connect with the creative community and be part of this special anniversary edition.

This project would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. Special thanks to for print production and Lindenmeyr Munroe for providing the paper that brings this deck to life.
