Tour and Talk with River of Dreams Curators Sarah Milroy and Anne-Marie Bouchard in English
March 29 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm
If you were captivated by the Tom Thomson: North Star exhibition, you’ll be delighted to discover that another extraordinary exhibition organized by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection is coming to the Beaverbrook!
Opening March 29, 2025, at the Beaverbrook, River of Dreams: Impressionism on the St. Lawrence showcases the transformative impact of the Impressionist movement in Canada. In the late 19th century, Quebec artists trained in France brought European modernism back to Canada, creating works of rare beauty and sophistication. This stunning exhibition traces their journey from the bustling streets of Montreal to the serene landscapes of Quebec City and the Charlevoix region, capturing the essence of the St. Lawrence River. Featuring masterpieces by William Brymner, Ozias Leduc, James Wilson Morrice, and many more, River of Dreams offers a deep connection to Quebec’s cultural and artistic heart. Archival photography and period objects enrich the experience, transporting visitors back to the moment these iconic works were created.
Organized and circulated by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, River of Dreams brings together some of the most iconic works from prestigious collections, including the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, the National Gallery of Canada, and private collections. This rare opportunity to experience these masterpieces is a testament to the exhibition’s national significance. And for those in Atlantic Canada, this is the only stop on the tour!
