Maximum Exposure is a student-run end of year exhibition that showcases the best image-based artwork by students of Toronto Metropolitan University. Free and open to the public, the exhibition is on view from April 25th to May 4th, 2025, within the School of Image Arts. In addition to the exhibition, Maximum Exposure is committed to providing students with events throughout the academic year, such as industry specific community programming, networking opportunities, and fundraisers.
Maximum Exposure is run by a group of fourth-year Image Arts Photography students as part of their senior thesis whose mission is to provide ample opportunities for students of all academic years to gain experience and connect with the art industry/community of the Greater Toronto Area.
We are thrilled to announce this years’ show, titled Legacy, as we celebrate Maximum Exposure’s 30th anniversary. The show includes a wide range of emerging artists and storytellers both within Image Arts and beyond, bringing together works by photographers and filmmakers, as well as digital and installation artists. This year, we will also be featuring the annual Third Year Show titled Rite of Body in Open Space and the Assembly Gallery (IMA 117/118), which is curated by a team of third year students.
The opening reception for Maximum Exposure: Legacy will be held on Friday, April 25th from 6pm-10pm with an award ceremony will take place at 7:30pm (IMA 307). Join us at the School of Image Arts for a full evening’s celebration of TMU’s up and coming artists and the 2025 graduating class of Photography Media Arts.
