Image Arts: Photography Media Arts (opens in new window)  marked a major milestone with the 30th anniversary of Maximum Exposure (external link, opens in new window) , its annual end-of-year exhibition showcasing lens-based work from artists across The Creative School. The event drew more than 500 attendees and served as a vibrant celebration of creativity and community at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU).

Among the evening's highlights was a special appearance by Maximum Exposure founder Narcena Wong, who shared rare ephemera from the inaugural 1995 show, offering guests a tangible connection to the event's roots and evolution.

The success of this year’s show not only honored the program’s rich legacy but also underscored its continued relevance in nurturing the next generation of visual storytellers.
