Out of Line: 150 Years of Supporting Creative Defiance at OCAD U

Ignite Gallery marks OCAD University’s 150th anniversary with a pointed declaration of purpose by positioning the institution not merely as a site of technical training or aesthetic refinement, but rather as a long-standing incubator of creative disruption. Out of Line gathers notable alumni and long-time faculty whose practices embody this refusal. These artists do not form a school or style, but rather what binds them is a shared willingness to step across boundaries, to trouble conventions, and to keep culture unsettled in the interest of possibility. The exhibition is both celebration and summons—a recognition of what has been achieved and an invitation to keep the boundaries moving.
