Back in 2021, the McMichael teamed up with the Koerner Foundation and the acclaimed Canadian filmmaker David Hartman to create a series of short documentaries that pull back the curtain on the lives and practices of some of Canada’s most celebrated contemporary artists represented in the McMichael’s collection. Each film offers an intimate glimpse into their studios and landscapes, inviting us to listen as they share stories of creativity, process, and the inspirations that shape their work.
This spring, the McMichael opened Morrice in Venice—transporting visitors to the canals, piazzas, and winding streets of Venice through the eyes of one of Canada’s most accomplished modernists, James Wilson Morrice (1865–1924).
