Our new home at 100 McCaul will open this fall continuing our 44-year tradition of exhibiting OCAD U students and recent grads. Ignite plans its program schedule after its annual call for submissions, which is released every spring. All applications are reviewed by the Gallery’s Selection Committee, which includes the Gallery’s Coordinators, representatives from the OCADU faculty and student body, as well as external advisors. Only successful applicants will receive a response from Ignite Gallery in June 2020. We accept applications from individual artists, designers, and curators, as well as group submissions. No solo shows will be accommodated; however, the Selection Committee may combine individual artists who apply into a group exhibition. The committee works to create a balanced program that reflects the diverse range of work produced across all programs at OCAD U.

For the upcoming exhibition year, we hope to receive more performance and experiential insulations
