Group of Seven Day: Postcard from the woods
Group of Seven Day: Postcard from the woods
The Group of Seven imagined in paint a Canada of ancient lakes and woods, Arctic vistas, and the magic of the northern lights. We’re bringing Algonquin Park and Algoma to Walker Court for Ontario's first-ever Group of Seven Day. With more than 200 works by the Group of Seven on view, immerse yourself in their art and ambition and try your hand at still life painting in Walker Court. We’ll give you the art-making materials, the inspiration, and a postcard to write home about it—we’ll even provide the canoe!
The Group of Seven has been a foundational part of the AGO since 1920, when the museum hosted their inaugural exhibition. A walk through the museum offers visitors the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in the Group, to see sketches and finished oils side by side, and to gain an appreciation for the Group’s peers, including Emily Carr, Yvonne McKague Housser, Lionel LeMoine Fitzgerald, Sarah Robertson, and Tom Thomson.
Self-guided artmaking is free with General Admission and all materials are provided.
While you're here, take a peek at our selection of Group of Seven-inspired merchandise at the Shop.
