Downstream: Reimagining Water features works by a wide range of artists who approach water with an equally varied perspective. The artists in Downstream explore our perceptions of watery systems and take a look at how our interactions with this substance shape and change us. We are in perpetual collaboration with water and in this exhibition that collaboration takes on the form of play, biology, interdependence, ecology, place, spirituality as well as voyage.

The purpose of the exhibition, I see / think / desire / do … is to explore the application of phenomenological thinking in the production of sculpture and installation. Phenomenological paradigm highlights the necessity to see past our ideas about things so that we can experience the things themselves as they appear in the everyday world.

QR_U (an open school) Questions, Responses and Unofficial Conversations is presented by sessional faculty member Heidi May, MAA candidates Elisa Yon and Adam Stenhouse, along with Lois Klassen (11 MAA).

QR_U (an open school) aims to create an occasion, and a setting to discuss the broad questions surrounding arts and pedagogy, and the future of the art school.

Join us for Open Doors - Open Knowledge - an exhibition to showcase the rewards of investing in education and acknowledge funding that the University has received through the Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP).

As part of the Economic Action Plan, the KIP was launched by the federal government in 2009 – a two-year, $2 billion measure to support infrastructure enhancements in postsecondary institutions. The federal government contributed $1.3 billion and together with provincial and other sources a total of $3.2 billion was invested in university campuses across the country.

It's that time of year again!
