Cambrian College’s Open Studio is at it again with a new exhibition of student made artwork in partnership with Makers North, this time with a very local flavour! Their latest show entitled Mixedtype is described as an audio and visual collaborative experiment melding the worlds of lyricism and design. In a unique challenge Cambrian College second year students paired with local musicians to turn their lyrics into hand rendered typographic posters! All posters at the Mixedtype event will be available for auction with all proceeds going towards the Blue Door Soup Kitchen. The exhibition kicks off March 2^nd to 18^th at Open Studio (93 Cedar St).
