Kick off the 14th DesignTO Festival at our official Launch Party! Mix and mingle at the event that brings Toronto’s creative community together. As a fundraiser for the non-profit Festival, all proceeds will go to help achieve our purpose to bring people together to design a better future.

This year, our Launch Party is taking over Harbourfront Centre on Toronto’s waterfront! Experience a one-night-only immersive multimedia installation by Toronto-based elsewhere Collective. Be the first to see ‘Future Matters’, a DesignTO-curated group exhibition in Gallery 235 featuring the work of nine local and international artists and designers. Explore three new exhibitions across site showcasing works in lighting, sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics and more. Dance all night to music by DJs Fly Lady Di and Adeola.

The 'DesignTO Festival Launch Party' is organized by DesignTO in partnership with Harbourfront Centre, and supported by the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund and Government of Ontario, with media partner AZURE Magazine.
