OCAD University is excited to announce the recipients of The Next Fourteen Days project grants. as part of an inaugural collaboration with Kolab Project.
The Next Fourteen Days is a new initiative that has provided grants to realize 14 new projects created by OCAD U students, recent alumni and select faculty.
The initiative is an experiment in social connection ̶collectively and individually, these works will speak to this time of physical distancing and self-isolation by featuring artwork created over a period of 14 days. Using creative practice to bridge social distancing, the Next Fourteen Days was developed in an effort to offer a reprieve from our collective isolation, to champion creativity and to support cultural production in these challenging times. Members of the OCAD U community from a range of programs and disciplines reflected on these themes to provide a collection of meditative and thoughtful responses. Congratulations to:

Newly commissioned works, along with the documentation of their making, can be found on Kolab Lab’s project webpage and will be featured online as short digital vignettes on Kolab Project and the CEAD’s Instagram.
Individual project grants of $1,000 were awarded to the recipients by a jury made up of Kolab Project and OCAD U representatives. Recipients were selected on the basis of a short project proposal, the strength of their portfolio of existing work and also a declaration of financial need.
