What's new

The FOFA Gallery went live just before the December holiday break. The biggest change is that the gallery is now a subsite with its own navigation. A clear site architecture not only facilitates how web visitors move around the site but allows for easy updates for authors.

The Department of Studio Arts website went live in January 2023, just in time for new student applications! Each program discipline page features a selection of student work. MFA student profiles – a key component of the department’s web presence – will phase in the new individual profile template.

Both new sites feature big, bold hero images and the new offset block to show off our best assets – our students’ work.

These projects were realized by Sarah Sookman, Diane Leyland, Chantal Bellemare and Andy Murdoch.

Site in the spotlight: New subsite for the FOFA Gallery!

The FOFA Gallery is the latest unit in the Faculty of Fine Arts to get a makeover. The biggest change is that the gallery is now a subsite with its own navigation. A clear site architecture not only facilitates how web visitors move around the site but allows for easy updates for authors.

Big, bold hero images and offset blocks showcase the breadth of artistic voices represented at the gallery, while new accessibility content highlights the gallery as a welcoming, inclusive space. This project was realized by Sarah Sookman, Diane Leyland, Chantal Bellemare and Andy Murdoch.
