ORIGINS

SIGN ME UP!

The Ottawa Design Club is so excited to finally bring you our first ever in-person event! For this special occasion, we’ve decided to deep dive into the theme of Origins. Three Ottawa creatives will share their own origin story so you can be inspired to reflect on your own origin story.

Here’s the fun stuff you can expect at our upcoming speaker event:
Make new connections! The first hour of the event is dedicated to networking. Don’t be scared, we promise the ambiance will be super laid back. Grab a drink, have some food and have a chat with a stranger!

We’ll be releasing our fourth zine with the same Origins theme. Copies of Zine 0004 — Origins will be available for purchase at the zine table at the event. Be one of the first to get your hands on a copy!

There will also be free food, a cash bar, and lots of good times.

Event details:
Thursday, May 26th
6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
SAW Gallery, 67 Nicholas St, Ottawa (right next to the Rideau Centre)

Program:
6 - 7 p.m. - Chats, food, and drinks
