McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Kleinburg Ontario Canada
The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is an art gallery in Kleinburg, Ontario, Canada, northwest of Toronto. It houses an extensive collection of paintings by Tom Thomson, the Group of Seven and their contemporaries, and First Nations and Inuit artists.
The core of this art collection and the very gallery itself are the result of the dreams and vision of two people. Signe and Robert McMichael were, on first sight, completely captivated by the paintings of the Group of Seven which seemed to embody the same love and respect they had for the Canadian landscape.

About Jyoti DuwadiJyoti Duwaldi
Born into a family of poets and writers, Jyoti Duwadi was exposed art and literature while growing up in Darjeeling, Varanasi, and Kathmandu. He moved to the United States in 1971 and lived in Southern California where he began making and exhibiting multi-media work that synthesized his South Asian roots with modern and contemporary Western art. The artist has since traveled extensively, incorporating ideas, images and materials that contribute to a vibrant and diverse body of work. Moving freely among different media—sculpture, painting, video, installation, and digital art—Duwadi maintains an intimate relationship with nature and the cultures of both North America and Nepal. The artist currently divides his time between his studio in Bellingham, Washington, in the United States and Kathmandu, Nepal, where he pioneered public art installations that address political and environmental issues.

Dejardin promises many classic favourites, but also some that have been rarely seen, and some that might surprise even an audience familiar with Canadian art. This exhibition will showcase the beauty, diversity, and artistry of the art of Canada.

The Legacy of Tom Thomson

Video Transcript:
Interviewer: What do you think his greatest legacy is, his greatest gift to us is?
Katerina Atanassova: If one can sum really in a few words, his greatest legacy will remain in his ability to commune with nature and to portray nature in its truth and its immediacy and its spontaneity and in its grandeur. To see light, to interpret light in nature was his credo, was his goal, and life achievement and I think that will remain for generations and definitely for the history of Canadian art.

Fashion As Art Exposed - McMichael Canadian Art Collection
June 20, 2012 Kleinburg, ON -- The McMichael Canadian Art Collection hosted a unique and exciting fundraiser, Fashion as Art: EXPOSED!, on Saturday, June 16, 2012, for over 400 guests. This inaugural fundraising event was hosted by noted fashion personality Jeanne Beker and was considered by many who attended to be one of the most unique, inventive, lively, and memorable events they have attended. Fashionistas and art lovers alike were treated to a glamorous evening filled with innovative design, gourmet cuisine, and fabulous music.
In collaboration with the Fashion Design Council of Canada, this event celebrated Canada's Group of Seven Fashion Designers and provided a spectacular backdrop to showcase their designs which were specifically created for the evening. Canada is home to some of the most exciting and cutting-edge designers. The seven designers are Joeffer Caoc, Comrags, Greta Constantine, David Dixon, Thien Le, Lucian Matis, and D'Arcy Moses.
Fashion as Art: EXPOSED! was a spectacular success and exceeded our expectations for a first-year event, said Tina Tehranchian, McMichael Trustee and Event Chair of the fundraiser. We are thrilled with the overwhelming support from our guests and sponsors. The beautiful facilities and grounds at the McMichael served as the perfect setting for a celebration of creativity and innovation in Canadian art and fashion.
MC Jeanne Beker announced the unveiling of the Group of Seven fashion designs, which was accompanied by a rousing musical performance by electric violinist, Dr. Draw. The party moved from inside to outside as the beautiful summer evening encouraged party-goers to keep going until the early hours of morning.
Fashion as Art: EXPOSED! is the culmination of a bold idea for the McMichael. Along with the concurrent exhibition, Fashionality: Dress and Identity in Contemporary Canadian Art, the McMichael is reaching beyond its familiar audiences to showcase the treasure that exists right here in our community; a treasure that opens up an array of possibilities to excite, entertain, energize, and inform.
The funds raised from this event will be used to advance the future of Canadian art through interactive educational programming and provocative exhibitions at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.
Welcome to our tour to the “Historic village of Kleinburg” ONTARIO, CANADA
Kleinburg - a small and very cozy town with a European soul but situated not in Italy or France and in North America just north of Toronto, Ontario. Kleinburg is an unincorporated village in the city of Vaughan, Ontario, Canada. It is home to the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, an art gallery with a focus on the Group of Seven, and the Kortright Centre for Conservation. In 2001, the village and its surrounding communities had a population of 4,595.
The village is located between two branches of the Humber River, and features dense forests throughout its 1.05 km² of land area. Its northern and western peripheries are primarily agricultural.
Kleinburg was founded in 1848 by John Nicholas Kline (1825–1854), a German-Canadian settler. A direct German translation of Kleinburg is small castle. Residents argue that the community of Kleinburg could be named after its founder or after its landscape (though the latter would necessitate the spelling Kleinberg, Small Mountain in English).
In its early days, Kleinburg was dependent on its many flour and wheat mills, located off the Humber River.
Kleinburg has historically been a small, quiet town, but now attracts many affluent visitors and residents. Housing developments began in the 1950s in the west and continued in the 1970s southeast of Kleinburg. Other developments occurred in 1993 in the south, 1998 in the northeast, and the 2000s to the north. During its major expansion in the 1990s and early 2000s, many new large homes were built.
