Student life
Start or join a student group to gain skills, make friends and explore your interests. Help run a gallery, journal or festival. There are limitless ways to get the most out of your student experience beyond the classroom.
VAV Gallery

Office of Student Relations
Learn more about Fine Arts student life activities. We strive to cultivate links between the wider student population and extra-curricular student-run projects, like Art Matters, Café X, Fine Arts Reading Room and the VAV Gallery.
The Office of Student Relations is the link between all student-run projects, the Dean’s Office and the wider university community. Whether you are interested in arts-related governance, gallery direction, festival production, resource centre management and non-profit arts related businesses we are here to help ensure the success of our student-run organizations.
The Student Relations coordinator also oversees Fine Arts Stories, and a fund for department-organized exhibitions of student work
