Today in Toronto, the Design Offsite Festival will dot Toronto with exhibits and events. Running from January 19-25, design installations and unusual prototypes are rolled into public spaces, which will also host screenings, panels, window installations, and more; check out our preview here. A highlight each year is the Gladstone's Come Up to My Room exhibit, on now, which gives designers free rein on the hotel's rooms on the second and third floor.

Free art and performance festival Villa Toronto is at Union Station, and dreamy psych music is setting up camp at Smiling Buddha as new weird America artist Weyes Blood is joined by Toronto's Petra Glynt, Anamai, and Schnsee. If you forget to buy stick-on Dollar Store rhinestones on the way over, someone will have some to lend you. For more events, click on over to our events section.
