Visit the Learning Zone Gallery to see Proud at OCAD U Art Show

Proud at OCAD U coordinators, Casey Helm and Teddy Schaub curated this exhibition and here is their perspective on this art show:

The PROUD at OCAD U Exhibition features the work of LGBTQ+ identifying students here at OCAD. Art Exhibition spaces can be inaccessible spaces, especially for those whose identities intersect in different ways. The theme is simple: there is none! The participants were encouraged to bring in work they felt like showing off. PROUD is a community space and focuses on claiming our own space here at OCAD. Copies of the PROUD Community Zine are also available for free in the Learning Zone!

The Dorothy H. Hoover Library and Learning Zone is pleased to announce the return of FOOD 4 FINES. Between October 7 and 19, donate non-perishable food items to the library – not only do you reduce your fines but you are also supporting the Student Union’s Starving Artist Pantry.

Each non-perishable food item donated at the Library will remove $2 from your overdue fines, up to $20 off!

The Starving Artist Pantry food bank is available free to students in immediate need, stocked by donations.

That time has come again to donate your fines away — it’s Food 4 Fines at OCADU!

From now until April 19th, bring in your non-perishable food items and watch your overdue fines disappear. We’re talking canned goods, pasta, quinoa, sauces! Rice, mac & cheese, tuna, beans! (All packaging in good condition and no expired foods, please.) Support your fellows through the SU’s Starving Artist Pantry and save money — $2 for every food item to be exact, and up to $20 total! (Don’t have any overdue fines? That’s great! Why not celebrate by donating anyway?)

• Dorothy H. Hoover Library, 113 McCaul, Room 1215
• AV Help Desk, 100 McCaul, Room 341
