Publications

Read an excerpt from artist Stan Douglas' conversation with McMichael Executive Director, Sarah Milroy.

We’re delighted to share that the catalogue for our exhibition Worlds on Paper: Drawings from Kinngait won the Galeries Ontario / Ontario Galleries Award for Art Publication of the Year, 2025.

Toronto artist Iris Häussler is one of a number of Canadian artists who have made the Tom Thomson Shack on the McMichael property their temporary summer workspace, among them Robert Houle, Alexa Kumiko Hatanaka, Jen Aitken, and Zachari Logan. Häussler’s complex project incorporated her research on the death of migrating birds though collisions with glass—a phenomenon that kills more than twenty million migrating birds in Canada annually.

The Anishinaabe artist and scholar Bonnie Devine won the 2024 Galeries Ontario Galleries (GOG) Award for Curatorial Writing for her lead essay, “On Looking and Reading,” in our landmark publication Early Days: Indigenous Art at the McMichael.
