Cave and Basin Mural Project 2024

With summer fast approaching, we're thrilled to bring back our Cave and Basin Mural Project for Summer 2024! Last week, the Whyte Museum hosted a Cave & Basin Mural Workshop with our talented artists and mentors. A lot of time, thought, and preparation goes into this summer mural project, making the guidance from other artists and mentors essential.

Our incredible mentors for the workshop include:

Joseph Sanchez: A painter from the Indigenous Group of Seven, Joseph offers guidance on image content, connection to place, and artwork creation, along with techniques and drawing development.

Come watch the artists paint from June 2nd to 16th, 2024 at the Cave and Basin! From June 11th to 13th, the artists will be on-site from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. to answer any questions. We can't wait to see you there!

Over the span of 37 years Kinsman Robinson Galleries has represented such legendary Canadian artists as Robert Davidson, Michael French, Robert Houle, William McElcheran (Estate), John Newman, Jane Ash Poitras and during his lifetime, the late Norval Morrisseau. With 1800 square feet of bi-level exhibition space, the gallery maintains an exclusive stable of some of the country's leading artists—four of whom hold the Order of Canada.

The gallery was established when Don Robinson and his then-wife and current business partner, Diane Kinsman, offered their personal collection for sale. Don found his early art inspiration within the Hart House Permanent Collection. Diane was influenced by her great-aunt's love for Canadian art. Together they created a newsletter called The Canadian Art Investors Guide. They developed it into a magazine with a nationwide subscriber base and ceased publication in 1980 to open the gallery.

Five years later, the gallery moved to Prince Arthur Avenue and Paul Robinson joined the family business. The gallery prospered and relocated to Scollard Street as John Newman, son of the famous Canadian artist, signed on. Kinsman Robinson Galleries welcomed renowned artist, Norval Morrisseau, to the stable and hosted his comeback exhibition "The Shaman's Return", an event which wowed collectors and critics in 1990. The gallery grew and moved yet again into the heart of historic Yorkville on Hazelton Avenue. In 1997, Don and Diane seized the opportunity—on the retirement of Canadian couturier Maggy Reeves—to acquire 108 Cumberland Street as a permanent art space in the Village of Yorkville.

Alex Janvier

Opening: November 24th, 2016 6pm

Exhibition: November 25th 2016 - April 17th 2017

Scotia Bank Great Hall

Joseph, along with the other members of the PNAI, Inc (Indian Group of Seven), is showing work alongside fellow member Alex Janvier during his incredible retrospective at the National Gallery.

Joseph will be in attendance alongside Alex for the opening. 

This major retrospective celebrates Alex Janvier’s lifetime of creativity, knowledge and perspective, gained through his love of the land, art and Dene culture. Come discover more than 150 remarkable paintings and drawings, including works that have never been on public display and well-known masterpieces. Visitors will have an unprecedented opportunity to appreciate Janvier’s unique style, with its vivid colours and calligraphic lines. He combines Denesuline iconography with Western art styles and techniques, such as automatic painting and modernist abstraction. Universal in appeal, his paintings on paper, canvas and linen reference Indigenous culture and history and explore his experience of residential schools and the effects of colonization.

The strength of the National Gallery of Canada lies in its collection of art, especially Canadian art, and its accessibility to the public across the country. The collection opens the way for appreciation of the finest in artistic expression: The works of art reveal the past, celebrate the present, and probe the future. The collection must be expanded, preserved, interpreted, and used extensively by the public for pleasure and understanding, for research and the advancement of knowledge.
