On Wednesday, May 28, OCAD U’s main building at 100 McCaul St., is closing early at 3 p.m. to prepare for our inaugural gala, taking place that evening at 6:30 p.m.

OCAD U is thrilled to welcome Toronto’s leaders in philanthropy, business and the arts to this colourful black-tie event, which will celebrate the power of creativity and support student success.

Proceeds from the gala will go directly toward student bursaries, helping to reduce financial barriers and create more opportunities for emerging talent in art, design and media.

As a result of the closure, there will be no access to the building by members of the OCAD U community, such as lockers, studios and classrooms.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we host this exciting and important event to benefit our community.
