KLEINBURG, ONT. — The Ontario government is investing up to $50 million over three years to update and expand the McMichael Canadian Art Collection facility and grounds in Kleinburg.
The province’s capital investment in the McMichael is the first in 43 years and will support repairs and upgrades to the 70-year-old building. This includes increasing the capacity for its existing programs, meetings and special events.
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is now the largest publicly funded art gallery that focuses exclusively on Canadian and Indigenous art, explains a release. It has a permanent collection of more than 7,000 artworks by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven and their contemporaries, as well as First Nations, Métis, Inuit and contemporary artists.
