Exhibition Support Furniture

Exhibition furniture for design students: please see the preview of furniture supports that are available below or on the second floor atrium by the Reliance Theatre (starting March 14th). Most design projects will use the exhibition furniture, which is assigned by the curatorial team. It is possible to mention any specific needs and preferences for exhibition support in the application form.

Supports for other degrees: Every exhibiting student is responsible for their exhibition support furniture. Please note that the university has a limited amount of support and display furniture such as plinths and display cases (more information can be found in the application form). If there are technical questions about individual projects and exhibition support, students are asked to contact the area technicians (Design Shop: designwoodshop@ecuad.ca /Stretchers and Surfaces Shop: C4260@ecuad.ca) or the Show team (theshow@ecuad.ca).
