🎨🏙️ GRADEX 111 – OCAD UNIVERSITY ART EXHIBITION & SOCIAL 🏙️🎨
Emerging Artists, Creative Energy & A Cultural Hangout
If you want to feel inspired, this is the kind of event that does it.
Join us for GradEx 111 at OCAD University — Toronto’s largest free art and design exhibition, featuring work from over 800 graduating artists and designers.
This is a chance to step into the next wave of creativity — exploring everything from painting and photography to design, installation, and experimental work, all in one space.
It’s vibrant, it’s varied, and there’s always something that catches you off guard in the best way.
This is not a formal tour.
It’s a social outing — come explore, react, and experience it together.

🚶‍♂️ What We’ll Do
We’ll meet outside and head into the exhibition together, spending about 1.5–2 hours exploring the different displays across the building.
You’ll have time to move at your own pace, take it all in, and check out the wide range of disciplines on display.
There’s also:
🎓 Student work available for purchase
🏅 A special medal-winning exhibition in the Great Hall
🛋️ An alumni lounge space
Afterward, we’ll head out to find a nearby spot for drinks or food and keep the conversation going.
You’re welcome to join or head out whenever you like.
