Last summer, Creative Industries student Avery Hickman completed a unique multi-disciplinary internship at Anthem Entertainment!
Through Anthem’s rotating internship program, Avery gained hands-on experience across multiple departments while building industry connections and learning more about the Canadian music business.
Her advice to incoming @creativetmu students? “Take advantage of networking opportunities, especially in music. Go to industry nights, even if it feels scary.”

What happens when you combine traditional printmaking with 3D printing?
Last week at @torontomet , students and community members came together for a hands-on printmaking workshop with @gcmtmu and @creativetmu Instructor @leeeldridge .
Participants recreated The Great Wave using mulberry paper, seven layers of ink, and 3D printed plates 🎨
The result? A live studio full of colour, conversation, and process in motion.

Take It To The House: The History of St. Christopher House Lacrosse tells the story of a groundbreaking lacrosse program established in Toronto’s Alexandra Park by Bob Opperman — a residential school survivor and community activist.
Founded in 1963, the program created access to sport for children and youth from low-income and newcomer communities, going on to shape some of Canada’s most celebrated lacrosse players. Built on inclusivity — no fees, no tryouts — and a deep respect for “the medicine game,” this exhibition captures the spirit of community, resilience, and cultural continuity at the heart of the sport.
This exhibition also reflects the depth of research and storytelling led by faculty within Creative Industries at Toronto Metropolitan University. Through community-engaged scholarship, interdisciplinary research, and a commitment to preserving underrepresented histories, CRI faculty continue to bridge academia and lived experience—bringing forward narratives that challenge, educate, and resonate beyond the classroom.

We asked students at Industry Connect one simple question: what’s your dream internship? 🎤✨
From media companies to your favourite brands, their answers were big, bold, and full of ambition.
The best part? Many of those dream internships were actually in the room.
That’s what Industry Connect is all about! Turning aspirations into real conversations, real connections, and real opportunities.
Your dream role might be closer than you think 🤍
