From December 27 to 29, the Museum’s front façade will come alive with mesmerizing projections by students and graduates from OCAD University’s Experimental Animation program. Inspired by objects from our Collections and the current exhibition, Light: Visionary Perspectives, celebrating the Museum’s 10th anniversary, these radiant displays — ranging from digital to stop-motion — will transform the night into a vibrant canvas of colour.
Brighten your evening with a warm drink, enjoy free TD Pop-Up Performances, and savour a delectable selection of evening bites from Diwan. Enjoy free admission to the Museum Collections Gallery and reduced $10 admission to Light: Visionary Perspectives from 6 to 9 pm.
Eleven OCADU students were involved in the creation of the ten animations:
