'au courant' kids! listen up...

It's time to put on your curious, young design face and get ready for URBIS DESIGN DAY 2010! Powered by the ridiculously smooth riding Audi A5 Sportback, Design Day is set to impress those who are interested in anything art related. Yes, I said ANYTHING.

When: Saturday 20th March

Time: 10am-5pm

Cost: Passes are $20 each

How: You must register online to attend- www.urbismagazine.com/designday
