DAWSON COLLEGE INTERIOR DESIGN 2023 EXHIBITION

Dear guest,

We are delighted to welcome you to the 2023 Dawson College Interior Design Exhibition. This evening is an extraordinary celebration of our achievements, showcasing our creativity, talent, and dedication throughout our journey.

Under the theme of “Nostalgia,” we aim to take you on a journey through our memories and experiences. As we reminisce about our days in the program, we reflect on the challenges we faced, particularly the unprecedented circumstances of beginning our studies during a pandemic. Despite the difficulties, we persevered and emerged stronger, fueled by our passion for interior design and the continuous support from our faculty.

Throughout the exhibition, you will witness the culmination of our hard work, innovative designs, and unique perspectives. Each project represents not only our individual growth but also the collective spirit that has defined our time together.

Excited to share our accomplishments with you, we hope you have a delightful evening, filled with creativity and appreciation for the passion showcased by our graduating class.

Welcome, and enjoy the exhibition!
