Object tell us that spaces are strictly
limited for some studios (as little as 5 spots at some) and that you should register to attend just 1 studio
(you won’t be able to see more than 1 on the day unfortunately).
This is a unique opportunity to see behind the scenes on a
number of creative projects and meet the people behind some of our country’s
most innovative art, design, graphics and architecture.
You can download the program here and register to attend here.
