Join us for an exhibition of works created by students completing first year!

Situated within the Faculty of Culture + Community, the Foundation Program provides a wide range of academic and studio-based courses in material practice, visual literacy and critical and conceptual thinking. Our curriculum challenges students to consider their creative practices in the context of society, and to participate in local and global communities and culture through research and studio practice.

The annual Foundation Show is a culmination of student progress shown through the work completed during their first year of studies. The show reflects encouragement to improvise and experiment with new ideas, processes, and materials. Imaginative thinking and creative experiences across a variety of mediums and disciplines fill the galleries and prepare students for future studies.
