26765361812_8c5c1b5ab7_k

The annual Degree Exhibition at Emily Carr is on! Scout snuck in for a peek this past Friday as the ECUAD team were putting the final touches on the show of over 300 student works. We highly recommend carving out some time to hit the Granville Island campus to take it all in for yourselves. The cumulative body of work is astounding in its breadth and sheer volume. Thankfully it’s broken up into manageable stretches so one can everything without feeling overwhelmed. Wander the galleries, hallways, foyers and classrooms to see contributions from graduating students who have come through ECUAD via Design, Media and Visual Arts. The opening celebration is today (Saturday, May 7) from 4:30pm to 9:30pm. The Show officially opens Sunday, May 8th at 10am, and will continue until 5pm on May 22. Take a look…
