Please join us for a special Curator’s Introduction to “Generations: The Sobey Family and Canadian Art” led by Sarah Milroy, Chief Curator of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
The exhibition is built around unexpected pairings and submerged histories, told through this extraordinary gathering of more than 160 works — from 19th-century settler artists through to the Quebec Impressionists and Ontario’s Group of Seven, Canadian luminaries like Emily Carr, David Milne and William Kurelek, and onward to the leading Indigenous artists of today, including Kent Monkman, Brian Jungen and Ursula Johnson.
This talk will be held in the Ledcor Theatre, in the lower level of the Art Gallery of Alberta. Following the talk, you are invited to stay for the post lecture exhibition celebration and reception.
General Admission to Lecture = $20
Members Admission to Lecture = $15
