Détail de l’événement

The Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TO DO) is the largest cultural celebration of design in Canada, with over 80 events and exhibitions taking place across the city of Toronto.

TO DO transforms Toronto into a hub for creativity by taking design and art out of the studio and into the urban sphere, bringing people together to celebrate arts and culture. They provide opportunities for emerging talent, and engage the community with exceptional and accessible public programming.
