What is The Show? Can I exhibit if I’m not graduating?

The Show, otherwise known as the Degree Exhibition, is a moment for all graduating students to celebrate their time and work at Emily Carr. This is not a year-end show for all students to showcase their work. If you have outstanding credits to complete for your degree please contact theshow@ecuad.ca and speak to us directly before you apply.
