Semi Permanent, the largest and most enduring creativity and design festival in the southern hemisphere, is headed to Carriageworks next month, so design lovers, artists, and all-around creatives listen up.
The festival brings together some of the world’s most influential and innovative creative thinkers to share their insights and experiences across various fields, including design, technology, art, advertising, film, fashion, and music.

O Studio, Institute of Modern Art, Journals, MCA Store, Perimeter, Powerhouse Publishing, Soft Stir, and Voluptuary Ceramics, among many others.
Semi Permanent is an event not to be missed for anyone interested in creativity and design. With a world-class lineup of speakers and a fantastic Art & Design Fair, the festival offers an incredible opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired by some of the world’s most innovative and influential creatives.
