Last year, over four-hundred professionals from the fields of Advertising, Broadcasting, and Design, as well as many more from the general public, attended the event, there is an expected rise in that number this year. This year’s show takes place on April 13-17, 2008 at the Fermenting Cellar in the Distillery District in Toronto.
The 2008 graduates of the York University/Sheridan College Program in Design have banded together and are proud to present an exhibition of their final work in a grad show entitled SPLICE. The show is the product of interweaving strands of passion, dedication, creativity and innovation that we have cultivated in the past four years of studies. We invite industry professionals and design enthusiasts alike to join us as we finish this chapter of our lives and prepare to join the design community as young working professionals.
