Letter from the Director

Mathew Sandford — Thu, 30 Jul 2020 15:02:31 +0000

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the McMaster Museum of Art (MMA)—like arts, culture and heritage institutions across the country and the faculty of our host institution, McMaster University—moved with passion, speed and vision to virtual events and online programming. While our doors remain closed until such time as the University itself reopens to the wider public, we are working hard to serve our audiences and looking forward to welcoming you back inside the galleries when we are permitted to do so.

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…
