This digital presentation of artworks complements our on-campus exhibition held at Langara College on West 49th Avenue in Vancouver from April 25th — May 4th, 2025. The artworks featured on this site show a wide range of artistic approaches that graduating students have taken in their ceramics, drawing, design, Indigenous carving & tool making, painting, performance, print media, public art, media, textile and sculpture courses. We are extremely proud of the dedication, curiosity and experimentation of these emerging artists and congratulate them on their significant achievement.
