This year\u2019s IDEA grad show theme is The Final Act.<\/p>\n
The venue, our first live one in two years, is different for us: the Vancity Theatre, home of the Vancouver International Film Festival and arguably the city\u2019s best moviegoing venue. The parallels between a screen premiere and a grad exhibition were irresistible\u2014advance buzz, an actual screen presentation, a communal audience, the anticipation of favourable reviews leading to future opportunities\u2014and an apt metaphor for our current moment: the vital, affirming act of putting on a show.<\/p>\n
If the 2022 grad class was an actual movie, it might be the indie that didn\u2019t come with the big marketing budget but simply delivers. In spite of a pandemic that impacted two years of their education, these fifteen grads have proven themselves resilient and resourceful. Their illustration, branding, and interactive work addresses our present era\u2019s challenges with wit, empathy, and insight. We\u2019re proud of all they\u2019ve accomplished, of the promise their nascent careers hold, and of the personal qualities and professional skills they\u2019re certain to bring to any studio, team, or project.<\/p>\n
