Enter OCAD >> Best in Show

Mirth had an amiable stay in Toronto, last weekend at OCAD's 95th Annual Grad Show. All six floors at the 100 McCaul Street campus were converted into an interactive expo and was open to the public.

Mirth was fascinated to observe the interaction of the students with visitors, and to spend time on campus. There was lots to see, and some installations were exemplary.

Mirth was particularly interested in the illustration, drawing & painting, printmaking, and graphic design exhibitions.

Each year, OCAD awards medals to students in recognition of outstanding work. It was apparent why those selected were true winners - nonetheless, the medalists were not necessarily Mirth's favourites.
