GradEx 109, OCAD University’s Annual Graduate Exhibition – Toronto’s largest free art and design exhibition – features the work of more than 800 emerging artists and designers. This is just one example of the many ways OCAD U supports and celebrates students as they begin their creative careers.
The event features displays from graduating students in every discipline, sales of student work, an alumni lounge and a special exhibition of medal-winning student work in the Great Hall. A supplemental online exhibition will also launch on May 1.
OCAD U’s Graduate Exhibition is more than just an art and design exhibition – it’s also a great place to scout for new creative talent or purchase work for your art collection. Looking for a specific skillset or an art style or medium? OCAD U’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers will work to connect visitors with recent grads.
