Graduating students from the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) are launching their annual year-end exhibition, titled "Odds and Ends." The showcase features a diverse array of works from Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Media Studies students, spanning traditional mediums like painting and sculpture to digital media, game design, and immersive art. The exhibition is the result of a year-long collaborative effort between the two programs, culminating in a public showcase held at the Creative and Critical Studies Building.
This exhibition serves as a critical professional milestone for emerging artists, marking their transition from academic study to professional practice. By integrating visual arts with media studies, the event highlights the increasing interdisciplinarity of contemporary art education and provides students with essential experience in curation and event organization. For the local community, it offers a first look at the next generation of creative talent emerging from the Okanagan region.
