Each year the winning projects from all DXA categories are exhibited at the Design Exchange for an approximate period of three months. Past DXA exhibitions have traveled across Canada and as far afield as Korea, to be shown alongside the best in international design. An exhibition preview follows the Awards dinner for winners and their clients.
