Canoe: A Collection of Canadian Art, a beautifully designed volume that catalogues the McCreath Canoe Collection, is now available for purchase.

The McCreath Canoe Collection spans 200 years of artistic output, encompassing 90 works from all provinces and territories (except Yukon) and covering all three Canadian coasts. Canoe showcases paintings, sculpture, prints, carvings, glass, ceramics, and birch bark canoes by 50 historical and contemporary artists, including Alex Colville, David Milne, Cornelius Krieghoff, Frances Anne Hopkins, Ernest Lindner, Illingworth Kerr, and Walter Phillips.

With its origins in commerce and Indigenous culture, and its status as a modern cultural emblem, the canoe serves as a link between Canada’s rugged history and its contemporary character. Each full-colour image in the book is accompanied by thoughtful commentary written by Anne Ewen and Rod Green. Canoe also features a foreword by Grit McCreath and Scott McCreath.
