• Project Purpose
• The 4th year New Media Festival was established
  in 2006. It provides students with the
  opportunity to present their thesis projects to
  the Ryerson community, family and friends, and
  the general public.
• The central objectives of this annual end-of-term
  project are to provide graduating students with a
  professional-level context for the presentation
  of their technological and artistic skills, and
  to increase awareness of the range of new media
  practices being learned and developed at Ryerson
  University.

• Past Achievements
• With great thanks to PFACS, last year the 4th
  Year New Media Curatorial group was able to
  execute a professional level show that was
  covered by high profile media sources. Public
  recognition for the works presented in the
  Festival have, in past years, come through campus
  and mainstream print media like The EyeOpener,
  Ryersonian, Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, and Now
  Magazine.
• They were also able to create some amazing
  graphics and promotional items for the festival

• Ideas for Increasing Engagement
• Exhibition Design Enables us to communicate
  creative and meaningful contexts in which artwork
  can be viewed and enjoyed. It is an integrative
  process bring together elements of interior,
  architectural and graphic design.
• Key Considerations Traffic flow, way finding
  systems, lighting, graphic design, color.
• Installation Coordination Helps artists realize
  their pieces physically within a space.
• Key Considerations Seeking permissions, floor
  plans, maintenance, safety.

  by taking it off campus.

  audience,

• - strengthen Ryersons reputation in the arts
  sector.

• Promotional Aim
• Our goal this year is to increase our broadcast
  and online media profile by
• Tapping into the promotional pool that the city
  has to offer such as screens
• located all around the city.
• Wild on Walls (located at Yonge and Adelaide),
• IMA Outdoor (located mainly around Union
  Station),
• Toronto Life and Clear Channel (located at Young
  and Dundas)
• Media we are looking to be featured by

• Budget
• With the help of PFACS we will be able to make
  this years show bigger, better, and more
  professional than any other year. The funding
  will mainly be used to advertise via print and
  screen media, enhance exhibition design, rent and
  possibly renovate a venue, and create educational
  outreach programs for high schools.
• In support of our upcoming exhibition, we have
  held 2 fundraisers since September and are
  planning a third that will take place in
  January.
