Ecentricarts

This past Friday, we had the pleasure of welcoming Keith Durrant and Leslie Horan of Ecentricarts. Their work includes work for arts&culture organizations, law firms and services.  Examples of their clients include:
  • Osler 
  • Kids Help Phone
  • National Ballet of Canada
  • Glasgow School of Art
  • Cultural Careers Council of Ontario
  • Textile Museum of Canada
  • Toronto Museum Project







I found their presentation refreshing and inspiring, as it was mainly focused on the aesthetics and execution of good design for clients in the arts and culture sector. The culture of Ecentricarts sounds to be hardworking, friendly and laid back with a low turn over rate.
