RSVP required. \nAbout the event\nSaulteaux artist Robert Houle and McMichael Chief Curator Sarah Milroy will engage in conversation about the artist’s personal experience in the residential school system\, the politics of cultural suppression and the resilience of the Indigenous community in the face of adversity.

Feeling a deep affinity for Robert’s art forged over many years\, Chansonneuve will help to frame his experience in the context of individual and collective resistance. \nRead more about the exhibition\, Robert Houle: Histories. \n\nThe conversation will be followed by guitarist David DeLeary’s performance inspired directly by Robert Houle’s art and will take place in the exhibition space. DeLeary is an Ojibwe from the Walpole Island First Nation Reserve and an innovative composer\, producer and performer.

SUMMARY:Pastel Mastery Studio

Next we focus on colour theory. Value\, colour temperature and how this relates to landscape\, still life\, and other subjects/modes of expression will be studied as weekly projects. The students will acquire an in-depth understanding of pastel application techniques and an appreciation for the wonderful\, spontaneous and forgiving medium of pastel. By the end of this workshop\, students will have a thorough knowledge of how to set up\, begin and work through an entire painting\, and will be able to work independently at home. \nRequired Materials \nClick here for a suggested materials list. \nAbout the Artist \nRenowned Barrie-based artist and teacher Margaret Ferraro has exhibited throughout Canada and the United States. Her accolades include exhibitions with the Pastel Society of America at the National Art Club in New York City\, and the Pastel Society of Eastern Canada outside Montreal. In 2009\, Ferraro published her first book\, A Time to Dance\, and was named a master pastelist by the Pastel Artists of Canada.  In her work\, Ferraro moves between landscape\, figural and floral subjects\, using a layering technique that incorporates a combination of charcoal\, ink\, acrylic paint and pastels. Texture and colour are the major factors in her compositions.  \n  \n*Please note ticket sales are non-refundable.*

SUMMARY:In the Making: In Conversation with Rebecca Belmore\, Ken Lum and Deanna Bowen
DESCRIPTION:In the Making:\nIn Conversation with Rebecca Belmore\, Ken Lum and Deanna Bowen\n\nSunday\, September 29\n\n1 pm\n\nAdmission\nAdmission to the gallery will be free all day as we celebrate Vaughan Culture Days. An RSVP is required to attend this event. \nRSVPTravelling from Toronto? Hop on the Art Bus! \nArt BusIn the Making:\nRebecca Belmore\, Deanna Bowen & Ken Lum in conversation with Sean O’Neill\n1 pm | Free event\, RSVP required\nA unique opportunity to join three of Canada’s leading artists\, all subjects of the upcoming season of the CBC’s acclaimed documentary series In the Making\, in an intimate conversation with series co-creator and host Sean O’Neill. The program will begin with a screening of the three 22-minute episodes of In the Making featuring each of the panelists\, followed by a conversation about common ideas and themes raised by their work\, including questions of history\, identity and nationhood\, and the role of the artist in shaping to the stories and symbols that form our culture. \n  \nEpisodes of In the Making\nDeanna Bowen\nDirected by Amar Wala\nDeanna Bowen’s critically-acclaimed videos and installations are a deep investigation into her family’s history\, as the descendents of formerly enslaved people who undertook epic migrations. Her rigorously researched projects range from tracing the presence of the KKK in the prairies to re-enactments of key television broadcasts that illustrate racism in Canada. For the past few years\, she has been working on an ambitious project about Black nightlife and culture in Vancouver\, her hometown\, as a way to understand her family’s traumatic experiences there. Sean O’Neill meets her as she prepares her largest solo exhibition to date\, A Harlem Nocturne\, named after the city’s historic Black nightclub. Deanna visits the CBC archives and the former site of Hogan’s Alley\, a Black neighbourhood that was demolished by the city of Vancouver—and then introduces her mother to the artwork that she hopes will help illuminate their lives and experiences. Read more about Deanna Bowen. \n×Deanna Bowen\nDeanna Bowen is a Toronto-based interdisciplinary artist whose research-based practice includes video\, photography\, installation\, and performance works. She has been researching her family’s migration from the American South\, post-slavery\, to the Canadian prairies for the past twenty years; her family was one of those that founded Amber Valley in Alberta in the early 1900s\, one of a few all-Black settlements in the province. In 2010 Deanna produced the video\, sum of the parts: what can be named\, in which she delivers a highly detailed oral history of her family\, and which screened at the Kassel Documentary Film & Video Festival (2011) and Oberhausen Film Festival (2012). In 2013 she presented the major exhibition Invisible Empires at the Art Gallery of York University\, which traced the presence of the KKK in Canada. She studied art at Emily Carr University in Vancouver and at the University of Toronto. Deanna is the recipient of several awards including the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship in 2016\, and the 2014 William H. Johnson Prize. \nCloseKen Lum\nDirected by Chelsea McMullan\nSince the 1970s\, Ken Lum\, OC\, has produced iconic artworks that speak to the complexities of class\, race\, labour\, and language\, always framed by his mordant sense of humour. A prolific writer and teacher\, and artist\, Ken is best known for his public artworks as well as his thinking about monuments. Sean O’Neill meets Ken in Philadelphia\, where Ken currently lives\, for an introduction to the discourse around cities and historical markers that have shaped his recent work. Their walk then continues in Vancouver\, Ken’s hometown\, where many of his public works are located—they respond to both his background as a working class immigrant as well as to how the city has changed over time. Finally\, Ken reveals a major new public artwork he is making for Burnaby\, B.C.—a stirring sculpture of a retired workhorse\, a sentinel of both the past and the marginal. Read more about Ken Lum.  \n×Ken Lum\nKen Lum was born in Vancouver\, two days after his mother arrived by boat to Canada from Hong Kong via Honolulu; he now lives and works in Philadelphia. Ken has exhibited widely since the late 1970s\, including in major international shows like the 2014 Whitney Biennial\, the 2008 Gwangju Biennale\, the 2007 Istanbul Biennial\, documenta XI\, and the 1995 and 2001 Venice Biennales. A longtime professor\, he is currently the Chair of Fine Arts at the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Design in Philadelphia. Since the mid 1990s\, Ken has worked on several permanent public art commissions for the cities of Vienna\, Rotterdam\, St. Louis\, Leiden\, Utrecht\, Toronto and Vancouver. He is an Officer of the Order of Canada (2017)\, as well as a Guggenheim Fellow and a Pew Fellow. He is also a co-founder and founding editor of the Yishu Journal of Contemporary Chinese Art\, as well as an active writer of essays and other critical discourse. A collection of his writings will be published by Concordia University Press in 2019. \nCloseRebecca Belmore\nDirected by Amar Wala\nRebecca Belmore is one of Canada’s most well-respected and beloved artists and the first Indigenous woman to represent Canada at the Venice Biennale. Her artworks attend to deep-seated trauma with surprising beauty. Her career is now in the midst of a resurgence: her life’s work is now touring across Canada in her largest survey exhibition yet\, Facing the Monumental. Host Sean O’Neill visits her in Thunder Bay\, the troubled city where she found her voice as an artist\, and meets her as she puts the finishing touches on Facing the Monumental at the Remai Modern in Saskatoon\, where her work provokes an unsettling response. Read more about Rebecca Belmore. \n×Rebecca Belmore\nRebecca Belmore is an internationally recognized multi-disciplinary artist\, from Lac Seul First Nation (Anishinaabe) in Northern Ontario. Her works are deeply rooted in political and social realities\, highlighting the impacts of events like the Kanehsatà:ke Resistance (Oka Crisis) and the current global migrant crisis in poetic and beautiful images. Her performances\, since the late 1980s\, often require her strenuous endurance. Rebecca was the first Indigenous woman to represent Canada at the Venice Biennale in 2005\, and she was awarded a Governor General’s Award in 2013 and the Gershon Iskowitz Prize in 2016. Her work for documenta 14 in 2017\, Biinjiya’iing Onji (from inside)\, a monumental tent made of marble installed on a hill facing the Parthenon in Athens\, was one of the most recognizable artworks of the exhibition. Rebecca’s other public sculptures and installations include Wave Sound\, Parks Canada (2017) and Trace\, Canadian Museum for Human Rights (2014). She frequently collaborates with her husband Osvaldo Yero. \nCloseAbout the series\, In the Making\nIn the Making is an intimate and immersive journey inside the creative processes of Canada’s leading artists. The award-winning CBC Arts documentary series\, now in its second season\, features groundbreaking artists from across the creative spectrum as they realize provocative and powerful works of art. \nHost and series creator Sean O’Neill meets the artists at pivotal moments of reflection and change\, taking viewers across the country and around the world to gain rare access to the lives and work of visionary artists. Each episode follows a single artist\, often over a period of several months and in multiple locations\, through periods of risk and realization. \nNominated for three Canadian Screen Awards and winner of the Canadian Cinema Editors award for Best Editing in a Docuseries\, In the Making is directed by leading voices in Canadian documentary cinema\, including Chelsea McMullan and Amar Wala. A CBC original series produced by White Pine Pictures\, In the Making is created by Sean O’Neill\, Peter Raymont and Nancy Lang and produced by Sean O’Neill and Michelle Mama. \nSeason two premieres on Friday\, September 27 at 8:30 pm ET (9 NT) on CBC\, and all episodes will simultaneously go live on CBC Gem.

SUMMARY:The Woods Are Burning
DESCRIPTION:The Woods Are Burning\n\nSunday\, October 6\n\n4 to 6:30 pm\nAbout the event\nIn The Woods Are Burning\, novelist and poet Anne Michaels and singer-songwriter David Sereda lead a stellar ensemble to celebrate the life\, art and passion of Tom Thomson. \nOver a century ago\, Thomson’s painting and spirit galvanized his fellow Canadian artists\, many of whom would later become the Group of Seven. Thomson\, the Group of Seven and their contemporaries would change the way we see our country. \nThe Woods are Burning follows Thomson’s journey his childhood singing in the church choir\, wandering the woods and fishing in the bay\, to his years in Toronto with the friends who would become the Group of Seven\, and north to Algonquin Park\, where he finds his true calling as an artist. The intricate weaving of spoken word and songs will show audiences a side of Thomson rarely discussed: joyous\, yearning\, restless\, humble\, light-hearted and very aware of his own mortality. \nAbove all\, The Woods Are Burning strives to interpret and understand the passion which drove Thomson to create paintings that continue to captivate audiences around the world. \nTo attend this event please RSVP below.  \n\n“Tom did not romanticize the northern landscape. He took it in\, as one eats when one is starving\, or drinks when one is parched. In the last years of his short life\, each sketch was a draining of the glass. He could not have known he had no time left\, but he painted as if he knew.” – text from “The Woods Are Burning” by Anne Michaels \n\n“These songs are responses to Tom the man\, the guy who loved fishing\, who lived to paint but hated talking about painting\, who loved singing. He was made into both hero and martyr and controversy hangs over his puzzling death: this also pumps up the legend status. But here’s the true mystery to me: how did Tom Thomson paint those brilliant works in the span of five years?” – David Sereda \nThe ensemble features readings by Anne Michaels\, and music by David Sereda (piano and vocals)\, Keira McArthur (cello and vocals)\, Sandra Swannell (violin and vocals)\, Terry Young (mandolin and vocals) and Tyler Wagler (bass and vocals). \nThis two-act performance begins in front of the Thomson Shack (weather permitting) and\, as the autumn evening falls\, continues for the second act in Gallery 8. \nTravelling from downtown Toronto?\nHop on the Art Bus!\nLearn moreUnfortunately the RSVP list for this event is full. \nWalk-in seats will be offered on the day of the event subject to availability. ×
