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.

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.

Maximum Exposure 30 would not be possible without the generous donations from our sponsors. We would like to say thank you to the following organizations for their ongoing support.
