The theme of the 2025 exhibition is Big Time — a celebration of growth, persistence, and the creative breakthroughs that brought us here. From blank grids to final projects, late-night revisions to print deadline panic, our students have spent the past four years pushing their craft and developing their voice. This show marks the culmination of that work — and the beginning of what’s next.

The exhibition runs from April 25 to May 4 in the Mitchell Art Gallery and features a diverse range of projects highlighting how each student uses design to communicate with purpose and personality.

We invite you to join us on Thursday, April 24 from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. for a VIP reception for members of the design industry and invited guests. You’ll have the chance to meet our grads, see their portfolios, and connect with the next generation of Edmonton creatives.
