Media Club [Summer 2026]

We’re taking the BEACAP Media Club to the National Gallery of Canada for a special summer exhibition edition!

This session will focus on Helen McNicoll: An Impressionist Journey, featuring more than 80 paintings, sketchbooks, and archival works exploring everyday life, nature, labour, and modern womanhood.

How it works:

Step 1: Tour the Exhibition

Join us as we explore the exhibition together at the National Gallery of Canada. No advance reading, listening or art expertise required—just come ready to look, think, and talk.

📍 National Gallery of Canada, 380 Sussex Dr.

🗓 August 20, 2026, 5:30 to 6:30 PM

Get your National Gallery tickets at https://www.gallery.ca/visit/admission, free on Thursday evenings.

Step 2: Drink and Discuss

Head to Brigid’s Well after the exhibition for drinks and a relaxed conversation about the works, themes, and ideas that stood out.
