Tech Show 2026

Join us for the Tech Show 2026, a unique exhibition showcasing a behind-the-scenes look at the creative practices of AUArts’ incredible educational art technicians.

While our technicians spend their days guiding students through studios, managing complex equipment, and making safe, innovative art production possible, their own vibrant studio practices often remain out of sight. Running in conjunction with the landmark AUArts Centennial Celebration, this exhibition brings their personal artistic work into the spotlight — honouring both the legacy of the institution and the hands-on talent that keeps its creative spirit alive.

Join us for the opening reception on Thursday, October 1, from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. to celebrate a century of art, design, and community at AUArts, experience the exhibition firsthand, and meet the brilliant minds helping shape our creative future.
