A Climate for Change picNew Exhibit - A Climate for Change
Opens on Earth Day, April 13, 2008

Inspired by the Group of Seven and encouraged by an emerging social consciousness surrounding global climate change, the McMichael Canadian Art Collection is pleased to present A Climate for Change, the first in a series of new educational exhibits. 

 

The exhibit explores the phenomenon of climate change from the viewpoint of those who will be most affected by long term environmental issues: our youth.
