Industry
The best place to find creative talent! GradEx is just one example of the many ways OCAD U supports and celebrates students as they begin their creative careers. OCAD U’s Graduate Exhibition is more than just an art and design exhibition – it’s a great place to scout for new creative talent or purchase original work for your art collection.
Looking to hire someone for a specific skillset or purchase work in an art style or medium? OCAD U’s RBC Centre for Emerging Artists & Designers (link to page) will work to connect you with students and recent grads.
