Women who defined Canadian Art

October 23rd – November 13th, 2021

An exhibition featuring works for sale by 30 important historical Canadian painters from the 1920’s through to the present. While the Group of 7 dominated the national conversation in painting, a driven and resilient group of women carved their own record of artistic development in their studios from coast to coast. Often overlooked and under recognized, these artists continue to grow in popularity with major retrospective exhibitions cementing their place in history.  Artists include members of the Beaver Hall Group, Emily Carr, Kathleen Moir Morris, Prudence Heward, Doris McCarthy, Molly Lamb Bobak, Joyce Wieland, Marcelle Ferron, Rita Letendre and others.


Creative Fury

October 2020

Creative Fury includes a selection of works from a number of Contemporary artists, as well as a group of excellent works by well known Canadian Masters.  Hanging side-by-side, Harold Town, Harold Klunder, and Jean-Paul Riopelle match the energy and excitement from works by contemporary artists Mark Stebbins, Christopher Knights, Michel Beaucage, COPE2, David Cheung and Lucas Beaufort.

The conversations between works provide an interesting point of engagement, comparing the revolutionary approaches of mid-century artists, with those being explored in contemporary practice.
