Memory Game for Seniors - Group of Seven Studio

Recall the Group of Seven’s Studio in early 1900s

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory with The House that Lawren Built. The Group of Seven is a Canadian national treasure, one that produced beautiful paintings of our extraordinary landscape. Many may not know that one of the masters of the Group, Lawren Harris, helped to finance the construction of a three-storey art studio in the heart of Toronto known as Studio Building. It became a haven where many of the Group of Seven artists worked, lived and inspired one another. Read about Lawren Harris’s vision for Studio Building, and about how the modest structure became the nerve centre of an unparalleled Canadian artistic legacy.

 

As an added bonus, in Reframing the Group of Seven, discover some lesser known facts about certain members of the Group of Seven.
