"This past weekend of November 5th and 6th, The Emily Carr Institute in Vancouver, Canada celebrated it's 80th anniversary by opening it's doors to the public. There were workshops in both the art and design departments, student work on display all over the school, and an extremely large cake (which was sadly all gone before I could get a piece and/or take a picture). Here are some shots and highlights from the weekend."
