Art Bus: McMichael Canadian Art Collection
Sunday, June 7 | 12 PM - 5 PM
$20 | General
Hop aboard for a special Sprint art excursion beginning at the Textile Museum of Canada (55 Centre Ave) in Toronto and traveling to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection (10365 Islington Ave).
This day provides all participants with full access to six exhibitions. Your day will start off at the Textile Museum of Canada, providing access to two collection based exhibitions and a brand new contemporary fashion show. Made By Many: 50 Years of the Textile Museum of Canada is an opportunity to reflect on the Museum’s curatorial direction throughout the past 50 years. Unfolding across galleries and over 30 exhibitions, you will trace the Museum’s evolution from the present day back to its beginnings in the 1970s. As an extension of that, Taking Shape: Recent Acquisitions showcases a selection of artworks the Museum added to its permanent collection between 2023 and 2025. On our third floor, Always in Fashion showcases an immersive exploration of Indigenous design languages and their transformative impact on the fashion landscape of the lands we call Canada and the United States.
On view at the McMichael are three exhibitions that offer historical perspectives and contemporary interpretations of landscape and place. Old Growth: Masterworks by the Group of Seven and their Contemporaries brings together iconic paintings that capture the enduring power and vision of Canada’s early modern landscape tradition. Fresh Air: New Acquisitions in Context highlights recent additions to the collection, placing them in dialogue with historical works to reveal fresh perspectives on Canadian art. Early Days: Indigenous Art from the McMichael presents important works by Indigenous artists, offering insight into the cultural knowledge, histories, and creative expressions that continue to shape the country’s artistic landscape.
With comfortable transportation and opportunity to purchase a hearty lunch from Food Dudes, it’s an all-Canadian outing that is not to be missed.
