# Partial’s Continuous Support of Emerging OCAD U Talent
[Partial](https://www.partial.gallery/) is an art marketplace and platform that began with a simple goal: To bring more original Canadian art onto more walls – directly from the artists that made it. Within their operation, they have continuously supported OCAD U artists through many different opportunities they’ve curated over the years.
OCAD U’s partnership with Partial Gallery commenced in October 2018 as a destination for art collectors and patrons of the university to collect art by OCAD U students and alumni. Today, with over 100 artists and 1200 works of art on [Partial’s OCAD U Showcase](https://ocadu.partial.gallery/), this curated list features a range of fresh voices and innovative styles from both students and recent graduates.
The partnership extends beyond the digital marketplace, and into in-person community events, connecting different sectors with the arts. One of their most recent events was a partnership with WeirFoulds LLP. On Tuesday, February 13th, 2024, WeirFoulds LLP hosted Partial Gallery and three artists including OCAD U alum [Suhmer Hyatt](https://suhmerhyatt.partial.gallery/) at the firm’s Toronto office in celebration of Black History Month. Pieces from each of the artists were placed on display followed by a panel discussion moderated by Partial Gallery’s co-founder and CEO, Tammy Yiu Coyne.
Partial and WeirFoulds LLP partnered last year as well to feature OCAD U artists as part of an exhibition and artist panel during Pride Month. The exhibition featured [Emerald Repard-Denniston](https://emeraldrepard-denniston.partial.gallery/), [Helio Eudoro](https://helioeudoro.partial.gallery/), [Brian Jiang](https://brianjiang.partial.gallery/), and [Sara Shogh](https://sarashoghi.partial.gallery/)i, who are part of the OCAD U Showcase on Partial.
In January 2024, Partial gallery curated an exhibition as part of DesignTO featuring many artists including talented OCAD U artists.
OCAD U talent continues to be featured on [Partial’s OCAD U Artist Showcase](https://ocadu.partial.gallery/) platform. This showcase is a great place to discover amazing artwork by OCAD U students and alumni while offering the option to buy or rent your favourite original art pieces.
