Craft + Design Canberra

Craft + Design Canberra Craft + Design Canberra Festival, 1–10 Nov 2024: Showcasing creativity, innovation, and regeneration. Design is in Canberra’s DNA.

From 2-20 November 2022, DESIGN Canberra will experiment with new ideas and expand the most successful programs into new directions in the 2022 festival. Over 200 events, exhibitions, talks, tours, activations, markets, collaborations, artist studios and open homes will once again transform the nation’s capital into a new platform for the best in design. The festival, now in its 8th year, is for all interests and ages and most events are free.
