Levels of Giving

We are Canada’s only museum solely devoted to the art of Canada, showcasing the best this country has to offer, both past and present, from coast to coast to coast.

Whether you love the iconic canvases of Lawren Harris, Emily Carr or Jean Paul Riopelle, or the newest creations of Rajni Perera, Kent Monkman or Rebecca Belmore, we invite you to become a McMichael patron and enjoy our extraordinary collection and exhibitions through special engagements and bespoke museum experiences.

When you support the McMichael, you sustain our mission to present world-class exhibitions of Canadian art and empower us to expand our innovative creative learning programs built on the pillars of art and culture, nature and wellness.

Our patrons are committed to the art of Canada, and enjoy a direct connection with our collection, curators, artists and authors through bespoke private events and experiences. We genuinely love meeting people who share our love of Canadian art. Please join us!
