Once again, OCAD U’s Project 31 fundraising auction was a great success, raising much-needed funds for scholarships and bursaries for students in financial need and the purchase of specialized equipment. This year, Project 31 featured 39 works donated by 42 of OCAD U’s award-winning faculty members and alumni.

This year’s auction raised $144,250 (gross) and since 2010, the event has raised more than $1 million (net). Project 31 is part of our remarkable Ignite Imagination: The Campaign for OCAD University.
