The Department will do its best to fulfill your request but please note that room availability varies, and specific room requests cannot be guaranteed.

If you have any questions, please contact the Visual Resources Curator.

Please provide catering details to art.admin@utoronto.ca at least four weeks in advance of the event. Personal or group events that require catering must be arranged by the event organizer(s).
4. A/V Requirements
We would like to inform you that our department's technical support team is only able to provide assistance for events and activities organized within our internal department (SS 6029, 6032, and SS6033). We regret that we are unable to offer technical support for events held in external locations. Our technical support team is dedicated to ensuring the smooth running of events and activities within our own department. This includes: Assisting in the setup audio/visual equipment, Troubleshooting technical issues that may arise, Providing guidance on the use of our in-house presentation and collaboration tools. While we understand the need for technical support for events outside of our department, our resources are limited. We kindly ask that you make alternative arrangements for technical assistance if your event is being held in an external location. If you are planning an internal department event that requires technical assistance, please submit your request to our support team at least 5 business days in advance. This will allow us to properly allocate our resources and ensure a successful event.
Please indicate if a projector or TV is required for the event. If so, please indicate if HDMI is necessary?
Provide a brief description of the audio requirements for the event, if any. e.g., built-in audio vs. external speakers.
Any additional tech accessories required for the booking, e.g., videoconferencing capabilities, laser remote, microphone, USB reading light, etc.? If no other accessories are required, type 'none' in the field below.
5. Advertising
Required at least 3-4 weeks prior to the event
If you answer "YES" below, you must provide the Visual Resources Curator with images to be used in the poster as soon as possible. A draft poster will be provided to you for approval below finalizing.
