OCAD Online Exhibition 2022

Oct 11, 2023

Our graduates of Summer 2022 presented their work in an online exhibition. This went live to the public and has since had many views.

Here is a quick video showing you around the exhibition, but you can follow the link and take yourself around each room in your own time, soaking up all the wonderful work our students produced

Students showcase a wide range of diverse outcomes in the exhibition - Graphics, Fine Art, Photography, Fashion, Mixed Media, Illustration, animation... each level allows students to refine skills in areas they have the most passion for and the outcomes are a result of months of research and prep into their chosen fields. Portfolios average 100 pages which demonstrate their creative processes and development of ideas. With the guidance of specialist tutors, students get to progress through encouragement and challenge.

We are always really proud of every student that graduates from OCAD - all with their unique personalities, struggles and determination, we ensure everyone gets the opportunity to celebrate their achievements. For some it does not come easy, and the achievement of getting showcased in our final exhibition is a HUGE milestone in their creative journey as artists.

Students you see here are from all over the world, and together they have again wowed us with their talent and creativity - so enjoy the exhibition and enjoy the many stories of achievement and approaches many explain next to their work.
