Maximum Exposure is a student project that showcases the work of the best emerging Canadian and international artists of The Creative School, while simultaneously hosting student-facing public programming, fundraisers, and industry experiences throughout the year. 

We are the School of Image Arts’ annual year-end exhibition that gives students the opportunity to gain industry-level exhibition experience, and allows for their work to be seen by a wide range of industry professionals. 

We are excited to announce this year’s show titled, Beyond the Surface, showcasing a wide range of diverse, emerging artists and storytellers within the program. Showcasing students from Photography Studies, Integrated Digital, Film programs as well as the Third Year Show titled Flux. We are also excited to announce the launch party of Function Magazines 25th issue, Transcendence held on the first floor of the building.

Event Details

The maps displayed showcase the various locations within the Image Arts building of Max Ex work. Maps and floor labelling will be provided throughout the building to help guide you to various artworks.

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.

The Max Ex team would like to take the opportunity to thank Toronto Metropolitan University, the School of Image Arts, Society of the Creative School, the Student Initiative Fund, the Dean’s office, Provost and President’s Office, our sponsors and supporters for making this year’s exhibition possible. 

We would like to make a special thanks to our sponsors, to which Maximum Exposure 29 would not be possible without their generous support.
