BEYOND THE MARK

OTT DESIGN CLUB 0007

To kick off the 2023 year, the Ottawa Design Club is bringing you a night of inspirational stories and a reminder that true art and design is about creating an impact beyond the visuals. Three Ottawa speakers will provide a glimpse into the unique ways their work interacts with and supports the community, making a difference in people's lives, no matter how big or small. Each will leave you with a lasting urge to get out there and shoot beyond the mark in your own work.

Here’s what you can expect from an ODC event:

Make new creative friends! 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!

Listen to inspiring speakers! Whether it’s by enhancing the character of our city through art, creating a space for folks to grow and celebrate their true selves, or connecting emotionally with the community through thoughtful brands, our speakers all exemplify the concept of going beyond the mark in their creative practice.

• Mariah Landers / Tattoo artist and owner of Obscura tattoo
• Dom Laporte / Muralist and illustrator
• Dom Richichi / Brand designer and illustrator

Get yourself a zine! Zines 0002 to 0005 will be available for sale at the event.

Have some food and drinks! Light food will be provided at the event, drinks are for sale at the bar.
