The Show
Each year, The Show showcases the graduating class’s creative work through a combined virtual and on-campus exhibition. Whether your practice is digital, material or site-specific, this exhibition gives you a platform to share, reflect, and connect, both locally and globally.
To participate, make sure you review the Show Handbook carefully. It’s your guide for submission, formats, exhibition guidelines and award eligibility.

Virtual Exhibition
- Open to all graduating students, regardless of location
- You control your online page: upload images, media and artist statements
- Exhibitions are archived — your work becomes part of ECU’s digital legacy
Before You Apply
- Review the Show Handbook for all requirements and instructions
- Decide which one of your projects qualifies for on-campus display and what part of your practice to show on the website. Remember: you can only display one project on-campus, so ask your faculty member for feedback on your work.
- Ensure you meet deadline dates and submission formats
- Plan ahead for logistics: digital media, transportation, installation, etc.
On-campus Exhibition
- Designed for students in Vancouver, B.C.
- You must commit to work drop-off, install, de-install and artwork pickup
- Projects must meet Exhibition Considerations and Install Guidelines
- If your work requires special equipment, consult technicians and faculty
