About this Event

Be among the first to experience the next wave of creative talent at the 2026 O-Launch Annual Exhibition, Otis College’s most anticipated event of the year.

From 5:00 - 10:00 pm, our Westchester campus transforms into a vibrant, immersive showcase of groundbreaking new work from our graduating BFA and MFA students across disciplines. From fine arts and graphic design to illustration and product design, this is where bold ideas, fresh perspectives, and future industry leaders take center stage.

Move through open studios, purchase one-of-a-kind works at the iconic student ceramics sale, and take in the energy of a campus alive with music and creativity. As the evening builds, all eyes turn to the runway for a standout fashion show debuting original work by Otis’s emerging designers.

Whether you’re a creative professional, Otis alumni, or member of the vibrant L.A. arts community, O-Launch is your chance to connect with the artists and designers shaping what’s next.
