The Didactic/Dialectic exhibition marks the thirty-eighth anniversary of the Art and Art History Program. In 1971, Sheridan joined with the University of Toronto's Erindale College to establish what became Canada's first collaborative fine art program between a college and a university.
 
A show in two parts, the Art and Art History graduating class presents a subtle investigation into pedagogy and art at the end of the 21st Century’s first decade. Due to the A&AH program’s distinct curriculum of both theoretical and practical, academic and studio-based learning, the work showcased is a diverse exploration of interplaying mediums such as video, painting, performance, photography, print, design and sculpture. Unique and critical, Didactic/Dialectic offers a glimpse at art borne of the information generation.
