OCAD University: Ignite Gallery

Ignite Gallery represents the current creative voice of OCAD University students and recent graduates through exhibitions, events and community programs. Ignite Gallery (formerly the OCAD U Student Gallery) continues its 40+ year history of support for the exciting work of emerging artists, designers and curators from OCAD University. Ignite Gallery’s mandate is: to celebrate the creative voices of OCAD University students and recent alumni by presenting innovative public exhibitions of art, design and new media; to enhance the professional development of young artists, designers and curators in a public exhibition space that enriches their educational experience, increases their practical skills, and promotes the sale of their work; to promote the sale of work by exhibitors to the public; to foster experiential learning, experimentation, interdisciplinary collaboration, mentorship and leadership; to value inclusivity, accessibility, partnership and diversity; to link OCAD University to Toronto’s art, design and new media communities and Toronto’s residents and visitors.
