Drawing Out: Art Now
Drawing Out: Art Now is a three-day Art festival curated by James Olley and Amy Swartz marking OCAD University's 150-year legacy through performance, participation, and expanded approaches to drawing. The program foregrounds contemporary art practices in which gesture, movement, and live action intersect with mark-making. In this context, drawing is an act of movement: a way of thinking, understanding, and making through the body, becoming both process and trace.
- Tuesday, October 27 to Thursday, October 29, 2026
