An evolving exhibition on until the end of October 2026

This land

As the Women’s Art Museum of Canada approaches its 20th anniversary on October 2, 2026, we are proud to present This Land, an evolving exhibition that celebrates the profound and diverse contributions of Canadian women artists to the cultural and natural landscape of this country. Spanning many provinces and artistic disciplines, this exhibition is a tribute to the creative spirit that has shaped—and continues to shape—our understanding of Canada’s identity through the eyes of women.

This Land is conceived as a dynamic, living exhibition that will transform throughout the summer, reflecting the changing seasons and the evolving narratives embedded in the artworks themselves. The exhibition’s title evokes both a sense of place and belonging, inviting viewers to explore the intimate and expansive relationships women artists have forged with the land—from the delicate beauty of flowers to the majestic grandeur of mountains. We invite you to journey through This Land, to witness the evolving narratives, and to join us in honouring the remarkable legacy of Canadian women artists who have made this country their canvas.
