Connecting Communities with the art of Canada

The McMichael Community Access Days program will resume on February 15 to celebrate your return to the home to the art of Canada!

Please note, if you have tickets for this program from January 11 through February 8, they are no longer valid.

As the McMichael looks to enable access for all visitors, the Gallery will offer free admission to all on Tuesdays from February 15 through May 31, 2022.

The McMichael Community Access Days program is tailored to reach visitors from the surrounding Greater Toronto Area. In addition, the McMichael will provide free Guided Group Tours to amplify the experience for organized groups. 

Funding for McMichael Community Access Days was generously donated by Terry West and Mark Defend in the hopes that it will increase public access to the McMichael while fostering a greater appreciation for the art of Canada.
