This Collection-Inspired Exhibition is all about Orillia-born Group of Seven member Franklin Carmichael. This exhibit coincides with OMAH’s upcoming Tradition Transformed exhibition (October 14, 2023- January 13, 2024), our annual juried landscape exhibition which is itself inspired by the works of Franklin Carmichael. In this show we will bring out the artefacts from Carmichael’s life and work that still reside in the OMAH collection, including the easel he worked on to paint some of his incredible art. Join us for A Close up on Carmichael to see a small selection of works and artefacts, and learn a little bit about this legendary Canadian artist along the way.
