The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is an iconic gallery that reflects our identity as a nation. Together with various communities-of artists; of volunteers; of members and patrons- McMichael has grown into one of the most important collections of Canadian art. In its 50th year, the McMichael Art Collection celebrated all of the various communities that have, and continue to, contribute to its growth. McMichael and the City of Vaughan planned and executed a dedication ceremony on April 12th for the driveway leading into the gallery to officially launch the McMichael's 50th anniversary season. This ceremony was enjoyed by many individuals and only inspired others. Mayor Maurizio Bevilacqua was in attendance and gave a heartfelt compelling speech about the importance of the enriching powers of nature to the human spirit. The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is an agency of the Government of Ontario and acknowledges the support of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture, Sport and the McMichael Canadian Art Foundation. It is the foremost venue in the country showcasing the Group of Seven and their contemporaries.
