Join us for the opening night of DESIGN Canberra 2015. This will be no ordinary event!

Hot off the press after their runaway 2015 season, FASHFEST and Haus Models will again team up to give you another glimpse of the amazingly diverse and talented fashion designers who work and study in the Canberra region.

You will also enjoy Designcraft’s quirky presentation of their innovative and high quality furniture, followed by the launch of the 2015 Design+Craft Award. The $2,500 prize will assist in the development of new work, materials and research which will be awarded to an outstanding solitary practitioner, collaborative project or small business who is participating in DESIGN Canberra from cross all disciplines.

Enjoy all this as you listen to music, catch up with the designers and participants, and take in the surrounds of the spectacular light-filled and exquisitely detailed Gordon Darling Hall, at the National Portrait Gallery.
