Hey there! if you are making things then most likely you are employing design too, right? Why not engage yourself in the awesome Toronto Design Offsite Festival community to share, experiment, and further develop your work! Lead a talk, open your studio for a tour, or have an exhibition. It's easy to do, less expensive than you think, and will expand your horizons. Do it!! Share it!! Get yourself out there!! http://todesignoffsite.com/

The Toronto Design Offsite Festival (TO DO) is an annual city-wide platform for the exhibition and engagement of independent design in Toronto.
