WestEdge Design Fair, Santa Monica
StarMaps Agency provided press and media relations support for the 11th edition of WestEdge Design Fair, held October 29-31, 2026 at The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. The West Coast’s premier contemporary design fair brought together more than 150 premium brands, emerging and established designers, and industry voices.
Joining in the final weeks before the fair, StarMaps took over pitching, media invitations, and guest list management, tailoring outreach to individual outlets and writers across design, architecture, and lifestyle media. Pitch angles drew on the fair’s 2026 programming, including the Rising Design™ emerging designer challenge, the Team Palisades ReBUILD Connect Zone for homeowners rebuilding after the Los Angeles wildfires, the Connoisseurs’ Club, and WestEdgeXTERIORS. The StarMaps team was on site throughout the fair to host press and make introductions, beginning with the Opening Night Party.
