A few brief downpours did not stop close to 100,000 people from visiting the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition July 8 to 10, where OCAD University alumni and recent graduates picked up awards for their art:

  • Kaley Bowers (BFA, Material Art & Design, 2015)  – Best of student
  • Vanessa Castellino (BDes, Material Art & Design, 2016) – Honourable mention, student
  • Mary Karavos (AOCA, Fine Arts/ Drawing & Painting, 1985) – Best of paper
  • Nicole Moss (BFA, Drawing & Painting, 2015) – Best of 2D
  • Maureen O’Connor – Best of photo/digital media

Many other OCAD U alumni had their work set up in Nathan Phillips Square, including Keight MacLean, who sold last year’s thesis project of ten oil paintings to a single buyer.

The Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition is Canada’s longest-running juried contemporary art fair, premiering in 1961. More than 320 emerging and established artists were in attendance this year, continuing the tradition of celebrating art on the doorstep of City Hall.
