OCAD U Contemporary Art, Design and New Media Art Histories
CADN students heard talks from three returning alumni who presented on their experiences in art publishing, gallery administration and working in museums. Caoimhe Morgan-Feir, Nathan Heuvingh and Amanda Roy surveyed their post-graduate projects and career trajectories. The alumni provided tips to the students about finishing their final year and MRPs, as well as how to start one's career when entering into the art world after graduation. For all three speakers, the CADN program provided valuable writing and research skills that were translatable to a range of employment opportunities.
