This Michael Snow print from the KWAG Permanent Collection, 'Smoke and Mirrors' (1994) is featured in our community curator exhibition, Articulating Legibility. While the artist gazes at us through his camera's lens, the rising flames threaten to engulf all that we perceive.

On view behind closed doors, Articulating Legibility is our latest Community Curator exhibition. We invited graphic designer Lucy Bilson to select works from our Collection that use ambiguity as a visual strategy to engage the viewer's imagination: kwag.ca/content/articu…

A Like Vision, published by @goose_lane, celebrates the centenary of the Group of Seven's first exhibition and features 300 high-resolution artwork photographs, and contributions from a number of Canadian artists, curators and writers.

We're pleased to announce that A Like Vision: The Group of Seven & Tom Thomson has won the Silver Medal in the Fine Art Category at the Independent Publisher Book Awards (@IPPYmag)!

In this behind-the-scenes clip from 2017, McMichael Conservator Alison Douglas explains what is causing some Tom Thomson paintings to discolour and what is being done to return them to their original condition.

If you're interested in learning more about the art and life of this iconic Canadian artist, join Executive Director Ian Dejardin virtually on July 8 as he takes another look at what Thomson's art can tell us. mcmichael.com/event/tom-thom…

We look forward to sharing her works with you, including COVID-19 Mask No. 8, from our current exhibition Early Days: Indigenous Art at the McMichael. Ruth Cuthand (b. 1954) COVID-19 Mask No. 8, 2020 Glass beads, mask, thread, backing, 30.5 × 30.5 cm Private collection, Toronto

An artist of Plains Cree, Scottish and Irish ancestry, Cuthand has long examined the terror and beauty of viruses using beaded panels. She recently made a series of beaded N95 masks that remind us of the contagion and catastrophe suffered by Indigenous people under colonialism.

In honour of National Indigenous History Month, we invite you all to join McMichael Chief Curator Sarah Milroy and Saskatchewan-based artist Ruth Cuthand for a discussion of her work on June 22 at 7 pm (link to register). mcmichael.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
