OPEN FORMAT ARTS & CULTURE 
creating experiences that bring people together



Purpose

To meet, inspire, and get inspired.


Vision

By leading with open minds and open hearts, we allow ourselves to learn and support one another. Our intention is to bring people together, and improve our community’s wellbeing.

Mission

We connect people to community and people to purpose. We believe in the magic and wisdom of real-world stories, human connection, and shared experience. People can often feel disconnected from community life, and we aim to spark more meaningful interactions within our city and among one another.

What We do

OFAC is an experience design studio whose core expertise lies in curation, production and communication. We connects people to stories through space, design, and live experience.

OFAC create social, community-minded events that offer presenters a platform and audiences inspiration. We produces the annual Design Vancouver Festival and PechaKucha Night speaker series. Throughout the year, we also collaborate with local groups on design-forward cultural projects.
We acknowledge that our events are produced on the traditional unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlil̓wətaʔɬ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
