January 21-27, 2013 and beyond
The third annual Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TO DO) shows the best in Canadian design at events and exhibitions across the city, January 21-27, 2013. Design-lovers will be inspired by a wide array of engaging programming from unexpected prototypes to immersive installations, leading off this year with a Junction Kick-off Weekend featuring opening receptions in the Junction neighbourhood January 19-20, 2013.
With over 40 events and exhibitions, the festival brings together a diverse array of makers from a wide range of creative disciplines. Embracing ephemeral installations, practical design interventions, and covetable objects, the festival happens in venues across the city, from storefronts to galleries to national institutions.
Join us Wednesday, January 23, 2013 between 8 and 10 pm for the TO DO Opening Party at Lightform‘s Toronto showroom. Come and find out what the festival is about, meet local designers, and experience special installations with the amazing community that makes the festival happen.
