Projects and Presentations (a.k.a. P&P) is a weekly session that brings together the entire student body of the Photographic Arts and Production diploma program. P&P is programmed as a two-year rotating curriculum, comprising three core components: 1. Guest lectures by practicing fine art photographers, curators, gallerists, art editors, art critics, fine art collectors, and/or fine art academics. 2. Field trips to tour visual fine art artist studios, galleries, museum collections and archives, exhibitions, the premises of fine art printers, framers, and book binders, and fine art festivals primarily in Ontario and Quebec. 3. Collaborative student community projects including event planning, participation and execution as well as an annual collaborative book project.
