• In the depths of winter, the wind blows broadsides of snow and brings back with them a whirlwind of carnival festivities. Here are some not-to-be-missed events:

  • Take advantage of the last month to see the exhibition Lawrence Rivers, Echoes from the Shores at Pointe-à-Callière.

  

Look back on the river’s history as you feast your eyes on over 300 objects from various collections that will immerse you in the fascinating world of the St. Lawrence. Artwork, archival images, first-hand accounts, interviews, excerpts from poignant documentaries, and large-scale projections complete the exhibition experience, bringing to life the river’s incomparable beauty.

• Experience Viewing the Night at Musée National des Beaux-Arts du Québec.

The exhibition assembles, from ancient to present-day art, a selection of drawings, prints, paintings, photographs, sculptures, videos, and an array of intriguing objects. It highlights the artists’ virtuosity in making obscurity perceptible by drawing shapes, faces, and landscapes from the shadows or by representing the maze of dreams. View the Night is an encounter with nocturnal light, whether it is natural moonlight and starlight, or artificial candlelight and electric light.

• Be among the first to discover the exhibition Painted Presence: Rembrandt and his peers at Art Gallery of Ontario.

From the Bader Collection at the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the AGO welcomes a remarkable selection of seventeenth century Dutch paintings. Shown in dialogue with paintings from the AGO’s European Collection of Art, at the centre of this focused installation are seven artworks attributed to Rembrandt van Rijn (1606-1669), shown together for the first time. Featuring intensely observed still life paintings, detailed interiors and mesmerizing portraits, these striking artworks offer a rare glimpse of Dutch artistry at work.
