Beaver Hall Group

The Beaver Hall Group was a trailblazing circle of artists based in Montreal in the 1920s, known for their bold use of colour and modernist vision. Unlike the Group of Seven, they embraced both urban life and portraiture—especially of women—and were remarkable for their inclusive spirit, with many prominent female artists among their ranks. Their work helped shape a uniquely Canadian take on modern art.

Key Women Artists (the most celebrated members) – These women carried the spirit of the group long after it dissolved:

Anne Savage

Emily Coonan

Prudence Heward

Nora Collyer

Sarah Robertson
