Suggested Content
We will focus on Canadian women visual artists highlighted in an exhibit created by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection - Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment. This exhibit is on view at the Vancouver Art Gallery (June 11, 2023, to January 8, 2023) and then at the National Gallery in Ottawa (March 3, 2023 - August 20, 2023).

While some of these artists belonged to the Canadian Group of Painters founded by A. Casson or the Beaver Hall Group in Montreal, they were not formally invited to join the Group of Seven, Canadian Landscape Painters.
