Are you creative or curious about design, art, or visual storytelling?
Join us for VIU’s Creative Programs Open House this November! We offer three amazing programs for creatives — Graphic Design, Visual Arts, and Interior Design — and we’d love to meet you.
We’re hosting two Open House sessions this November:.
- Online: Wednesday, November 12 at 6pm
- In Person: Thursday, November 13 at 6pm
RSVP to GraphicDesign@viu.ca to save your spot.
If you can’t make it, no problem — we’re happy to meet one-on-one to chat about your goals or review your portfolio (even if you plan to apply somewhere else). Just email us to set something up.
What is an Open House, and why do we do this?
It’s a relaxed, friendly event where you can explore our studios, meet faculty, and get advice on putting together your application portfolio. Many students tell us, “I want a creative career, but I don’t know where to start.” This is where to start.
Bring anything you’ve made — drawings, paintings, photos, jewelry, websites, videos, writing, or that quirky sculpture your aunt doesn’t understand. If you made it, we want to see it — Anything you’ve made counts!
How do I get in?
Easy. First, apply to VIU here, then submit your work to SlideRoom in any of the following formats:
- PDF, JPEG or TIFF.
- URL link to your work.
- URL and/or a PDF document with multiple pages.
Got questions? Reach out — we’re happy to help.
