Exhibitors are responsible for arranging their own venue in Toronto, including spaces such as galleries, studios, workshops, cafés, schools, lobbies, and businesses. We also welcome online events and exhibitions.

Design with, not for; Designing for health; Data bias; Gender data bias; Inclusive fashion; Human-centred design; Decolonizing design education; Designing for neurodiversity; Participatory design; Pandemic design; Post-pandemic design; and Systems design.

2022 Prototype Exhibition Call for Submissions

‘Purpose & Play’ is a new edition of the 7th annual prototype exhibition organized by DesignTO in partnership with Umbra.


In a time when everything can feel the same, how can we inject color and fun into our lives? Where can we find moments of joy and spontaneity? How can we shake up the environments we've been confined to for months? In contrast to restrictions, essentials, and necessity, how can we create opportunities for frivolity and play? How can we create a “new quality of life” through prototypes?


‘Purpose & Play’ invites Canadian designers (living here or abroad) to submit to this open call for submissions.


Deadline

Friday, September 24, 2021, by 11:59 p.m. EDT.

2022 Residency Call for Submissions

FLDWRK x DesignTO presents ‘6ft (a)part’, a residency inviting designers to propose ideas that can meaningfully impact their communities, through investigation, speculation, and production. These ideas can be small or large, intimate or urban, digital or analog. 


As communities begin to optimistically strategize what post-pandemic life could be after more than a year of living 6 feet apart, we ask designers to reconsider, reframe and remake what’s around us to have a positive and long-lasting impact on society. ‘6ft (a)part’ calls for a new spatial contract that will reshape our everyday life.


Deadline

Friday, September 24, 2021, by 11:59 p.m. EDT.
