TDF Open House 2017

All About TDF Talks

The entire team has been madly working on our fifth TDF Open House event, coming up next week – November 23rd to 26th! And while you may have been to a past event, we assure you this year is our biggest and most ambitious yet!

We’re excited to add a brand new element this year: TDF Talks!  Fortunate to spend our days interviewing and writing about some of the very best in the biz, we thought our pop-up home, filled with local art and design, would be the perfect place to share words of wisdom from some of our favourite local creatives, IRL!

Tickets are just $20 and can be booked through Eventbrite, with 100% of proceeds being donated to our friends at ASRC.
