The sense of community that comes with almost all forms of artistic creation brings people together, and it is from this spirit that the FORMAT MTL fair was born. This is its first year, and it runs all weekend—September 10–12, 2026.
For a design fair, FORMAT MTL is delightfully disorganized. No exhibition hall, no headquarters, and all events are organized by individuals without any involvement from a fair representative.
