On-Site Event

The Media Show is back!

Join us for the Spring 2017 Media Show!

Featuring short films and media installations from second and third-year students.

See you on April 13, 2017, from 5 - 7pm in the Lecture Theatre, Room 301, South Building.

Everyone welcome!

Please join us for a lunchtime talk with drawing artist Vida Simon I Room 340, South Building

Vida Simon's work incorporates various media to form site-responsive installations and performances. A running thread throughout her work is drawing, a form that most directly expresses the artist's interests in visual storytelling, improvisation, and elemental materials. She has presented projects internationally in a wide range of contexts—galleries, hotel rooms, storefronts, theatres, rooftops, a former synagogue, an old horse stable, and a century-old house on Fogo Island, Newfoundland.

Recently, Vida completed a long duration residency with 3e impérial (Granby, Quebec) and is currently preparing for a solo show at Kunsthalle Lingen (Germany) in 2017.

Join us as we bid a fond farewell to Granville Island. After 37 years on the Island, our inevitable move to a new purpose-built building is about to come to fruition. 

But before we embark on this exciting and unique experience, we would like to invite you to take a moment out of your hectic day to join us for a cupcake and reminisce about your time spent at Granville Island.
