A historic look at women and art

UNINVITED ART | Sept. 10 to Jan. 16 McMichael Canadian Art Collection

More than a century after the founding of the Group of Seven, this comprehensive exhibition takes a look at the women left out of that sacrosanct canon of Canadian art. It features more than 200 pieces by painters, architects, photographers, sculptors and movie makers, including members of the Beaver Hall Group (Lilias Torrance Newton and Anne Savage) and Emily Carr, whose painting was largely inspired by Indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest. Indigenous artists highlighted by the exhibition include Elizabeth Katt Petrant from Bear Island, Temagami, and Mrs. Walking Sun from Saskatchewan’s Carry the Kettle Reserve.
