Curator's Talk | Sarah Milroy on 'Tom Thomson: North Star'

Please join us for a special Curator’s Introduction to Tom Thomson: North Star led by Sarah Milroy, Executive Director and Chief Curator of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.

Tom Thomson (1877–1917) is indisputably Canada’s preeminent modern painter, and his catalytic achievement changed the face of Canadian painting forever. This exhibition will offer a close look at Thomson’s legacy, focusing on the small en plein air oil paintings, also know as oil sketches, of which he is the supreme master.

This talk will be held in the Ledcor Theatre, in the lower level of the AGA. Following the talk, you are invited to stay for the post lecture exhibition celebration and reception.  

General Admission to Lecture = $25 (+GST)

Members Admission to Lecture = $10 (+GST)

Tom Thomson: North Star is organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection with the exceptional support of the National Gallery of Canada.
