About the Exhibitions
Tom Thomson: North Star offers a close look at Thomson’s legacy, focusing on the oil sketch, of which he is the supreme master. Bringing together a selection of artworks from the leading collections of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection and the National Gallery of Canada, as well as a host of other Canadian museums and private collections, Tom Thomson: North Star presents a rare opportunity to access a comprehensive view of Thomson’s oeuvre.
Organized and circulated by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection with the exceptional support of the National Gallery of Canada. Curated by Ian A.C. Dejardin and Sarah Milroy. Supported by the Government of Canada / Avec l’appui du gouvernement du Canada. Sponsored by Heffel.
Braxton Garneau: Pay Dirt makes social and industrial connections between Pitch Lake in Trinidad, the largest natural deposit of asphalt in the world, and Alberta’s bitumen deposits. It was knowledge of extractive industries that brought Braxton Garneau’s family, and many other Caribbean families to Alberta. Pay Dirt entwines these locations further by drawing attention to their parallel and opposing industrial and social realities.
Organized by the Art Gallery of Alberta and curated by Lindsey Sharman. The RBC New Works Gallery features new artworks by Alberta artists and continues the Art Gallery of Alberta’s tradition of supporting and promoting Alberta artists.
