GRADUATION / CLASS OF 2021

Sunday, August 8th 2021:

Although the 2D Academy has existed for 3 years the 2021 graduation event was our first formal graduation ever. Consequently, we were very proud to make it happen, although it is the first of many, many more we hope.

Needless to say, it went very well, as you'll see below...

Framed diplomas, silk screen T-shirts and Golden Pencil Awards ~ pretty great graduate swag I'd say!

Do to various prior commitments, not everyone could attend at the same time. So we decided to have two sessions - a smaller one in the morning and a larger one in the afternoon. Unlike most stuffy and boring graduation ceremonies, ours was a very relaxed and informal affair...
