Tom Thomson: The Homecoming Reception

On Friday, June 14, please join us for a major celebration of Tom Thomson’s homecoming to Owen Sound and the unveiling of the Art Gallery’s first donation of a Tom Thomson painting in more than 20 years. As one of Canada’s most recognized and celebrated artists, the Homecoming exhibition explores the role that Owen Sound played in Thomson’s artistic growth and his emergence as a national icon. This special evening will feature introductory remarks by Charles Hill, one of Canada’s pre-eminent art historians. Enjoy music by Max Clark, a special performance by members of Shipyard Kitchen Party from their musical Tom Thomson’s Wake, a Tom Thomson monologue preformed by Karina McKerroll, a Thomson-inspired cocktail, wine, beer, or cider, and indulge in some edible art by The Milk Maid.
