Exhibitions

Make Change assembles diverse creators who are excited about using their practice to facilitate social change. We serve a network of makers, developers, entrepreneurs, artists, crafters, educators, and technologists working for a better world.
We explore the intersections of creating and social change in a full day of programming at Design Exchange, Toronto’s design focused museum in the historic art deco stock trading floor. The conference will balance talks and discussion with hands on workshops, and invite curious people to engage with the ways their work impacts the world and each other.
