Passing of Tony Fusco and important message about Boston Design Week 2025

We extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of Tony Fusco, co-founder of Boston Design Week.

Tony was not only a co-founder and Director of Fusco & Four Associates, a marketing and public relations agency specializing in the arts since 1997, but also a producer of large-scale public art and design events, including the Boston International Fine Art Show for 24 years, and Boston Design Week for the past 11 years. 

Tony’s unwavering passion for the arts and his dedication to building a vibrant and inclusive design community have left an enduring legacy. His ability to inspire and uplift countless individuals has profoundly shaped the creative landscape.

In his memory, Boston Design Week will take a one-year hiatus to reflect and celebrate his life’s work.

Our thoughts are with Tony’s family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. World Design Weeks remains committed to upholding his vision for a world enriched by the transformative power of creativity and design.
