Letter from the Director
Thank you from your local arts organizations
The arts are a means for connection and self-expression; they have always been essential sources of entertainment, communication, education, and comfort. We are deeply grateful to all of you who continue to encourage and support our artists and organizations, particularly as we all continue to face days and months of uncertainty and change.
We all remain committed to supporting and presenting music, art, dance, theatre, media art, craft, and literary works, during these difficult times. Visit us online to take gallery tours, see and hear performances, watch films, participate in workshops, or listen to a story!
We also owe an enormous measure of gratitude to all our front-line workers. Thank you for all your hard work.
Be safe, stay healthy, and we’ll see you soon.
From your local arts organizations…

Please join us at the McMaster Museum of Art for an insightful, critical dialogue on the “Indian” image and how it has shaped and been shaped by artists over time. Drawing on themes central to Peripheral Vision(s)―representation, portraiture, commemoration, truth, and history-making―the panelists will offer up their individual perspectives on the work of 19th century Northern Plains warrior-artists and 20th century artists, Leonard Baskin and Fritz Scholder, whilst situating their works within the broadened context of Indigenous art history. The panelists have all contributed essays to the Peripheral Vision(s) publication which launches at this event.
This panel is presented as a complement to the exhibition Peripheral Vision(s) and is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art.
This event is free and open to the public. Seating is first-come-first-served.
