Would you like to build your network with professionals who are excited about OCAD U creative talent?

The CEAD is hosting an in-person event on May 8th that will bring together industry guests with selected students who are showing work at GradEx 110. The goal of the event is to help build awareness of the creative talent at OCAD U, help develop your professional relationships and create connections. The event will begin with conversation, complimentary food and beverages and some opening remarks, and will then lead small groups on tours of your work at GradEx 110.
 
If you would like to be considered for involvement in the event, please fill out this application form and upload up to 3 images of the work you’ll be showing at GradEx 110 (or a link to those images online). If you have a video-based work, please include an online link to the artwork. Selected students will be contacted with more details.

…and if you’d like to enhance your overall professional presence at GradEx, we’ve produced a learning resource called “Your Work Here” to help guide you.
