Cardiff Design Festival set to celebrate the best of Welsh design in 2010

Since 2005 the Cardiff Design Festival has been running to celebrate, provoke, inform and inspire with design.

At venues across the city a whole spectrum of different events will take place including talks, workshops and exhibitions.

Olwen Moseley, director of the Festival, at a pre-launch event at Chapter Arts Centre on Monday 17th May, called for more people to get involved.

She said: “One of the things that makes for a successful festival is when it’s a community event. We want the design community to run events, come up with ideas and get people involved.”
