DesignTO is a charitable arts organization that believes design can create a sustainable, just, and joyful world. DesignTO organizes the annual DesignTO Festival. It is Canada’s largest celebration of design, forming Toronto’s design week every January.
This July, DesignTO partnered with Lutron to welcome Toronto’s architecture and design community to the ‘Summer Salon’, a three-day series of intimate conversations exploring contemporary ideas in architecture, interiors, and placemaking.
The Yonge + St. Clair BIA and DesignTO invite artists, architects, designers, and multidisciplinary creatives to submit proposals for seven site-specific installations during DesignTO Festival 2027. Funding between $5,000 and $7,500 CAD is available. Apply by September 13, 2026.
A year ago, DesignTO launched our first fundraising campaign, which helped us sustain our annual festival and public programs.
It’s time to celebrate innovation, design, and community at the annual King East Design District (KEDD) Neighbourhood Hop, organized by DesignTO, in collaboration with Old Town Toronto BIA.
