Media + Concourse Galleries

Maxwell Simmer, Grillz, yellow cedar: detail from Connecting Flights: an exhibition of returning exchange studentsThe Concourse and Media Galleries play an integral role at Emily Carr University as they provide an opportunity for the Emily Carr community to present its work in a public exhibition context. Exhibitions are chosen by a gallery committee made up of peers through an open submission process, and deadlines for submissions are posted twice a year. Students gain invaluable experience by taking responsibility for all aspects of an exhibition's development from the curatorial premise to installation and promotion.

Look below for the schedule of exhibitions in the Media and Concourse Galleries.

    As storytellers, photojournalists and documentary photographers create images, both still and moving, that record the history of our culture, evoking the momentous and the everyday circumstances of contemporary life. In recent decades, Photography, Photojournalism and the Documentary tradition have been transformed by digital technology; the dissemination of these images has radically increased to feed new modes of consumption.
