Moonlight Gala 2021

While the McMichael Canadian Art Collection is a place of pilgrimage for those who love the Group of Seven, it is also the home of the art of Canada in its many diverse manifestations. Also on this year is an exhibition of new work by John Hartman (a fascinating showcase of portraits of Canadian writers), and over the summer what is sure to be a revelatory exhibition of 30 Canadian women artists who were contemporaries of the Group of Seven.
The Moonlight Gala is an opportunity for us all to appreciate and support the art of Canada, as well as being a fantastic party! If you haven’t been yet, you are missing out on a wonderful evening in a magical place.
Join us in celebrating in 2021!

What to expect
For the 2018–2019 school year, the McMichael continues to showcase diverse, thought-provoking and engaging exhibitions that celebrate The Art of Canada*. Outstanding shows of contemporary and modernist works of art will be on display, along with the gallery’s well-known works presented through a fresh curatorial lens.
Opening this October is the internationally acclaimed exhibition David Milne: Modern Painting, showcasing Milne’s artistic development and journey into modernity as he moved from the bustling sidewalks of New York to the war-torn landscapes of Northern France. This exhibition includes several works produced for the War Memorial Fund. Coinciding with both the Milne exhibition and 100th anniversary of the Armistice, Stephen Andrews: Frames of War opens in November. This contemporary exhibition of Andrews’ war related pencil crayon artworks presents a unique opportunity to explore the impact of the Great War on Canadian history and national identity.
The continuing presentation of The Art of Canada: Director’s Cut and Indigenous galleries provides the perfect framework to celebrate the many facets of Canadian history and culture, and experience an all-encompassing picture of Canadian art.
The McMichael offers a unique learning experience, in which a refreshing synergy between art, nature and history can address a variety of curriculum expectations.
