Maximum Exposure 31

Maximum Exposure is a student-run, end-of-year exhibition showcasing image-based work by students from Toronto Metropolitan University. Free and open to the public, the exhibition will be on view from April 24 to May 3, 2026, at the School of Image Arts.

Organized by a group of fourth-year Image Arts Photography students as part of their senior thesis, Maximum Exposure aims to create meaningful opportunities for students across all academic years to gain experience and connect with the Greater Toronto Area’s art community and industry.

We are excited to present this year’s exhibition, Reverie, celebrating another iteration of Maximum Exposure. The show features a diverse range of emerging artists and storytellers from within Image Arts and beyond, bringing together photographers, filmmakers, digital artists, and installation-based practices. This year also includes the annual Third Year Show, Inhale / Exhale, presented in Open Space and the Assembly Gallery (IMA 117/118), curated by a team of third-year students.

The opening reception for Maximum Exposure: Reverie will take place on Friday, April 24, from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM. An award ceremony will be held at 7:00 PM in IMA 307. Join us at the School of Image Arts for an evening celebrating TMU’s emerging artists and the 2026 graduating class of Photography Media Arts

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

It is important to understand the longstanding history that has brought us to reside on this land known as Tkaronto and understand our place within its history.

This land we reside on carries with it imprints of its past. We as the students of Toronto Metropolitan university acknowledge this past and stand in solidarity with indigenous peoples and the deep wounds they carry. The present and future stewardship of this land, we hope will be one of equal opportunity, equal bounty and respect. Tkaronto is in the dish with one spoon territory. The dish with one spoon territory is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent indigenous nations and peoples. Europeans and all newcomers have been invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.

As we work to heal our communities, in shared responsibility, we encourage our viewers to donate to and support grassroots indigenous organizations to continue this advocacy.
