Doris McCarthy Gallery

The Doris McCarthy Gallery is a professional public art gallery within the University of Toronto Scarborough that advances artistic innovation, critical thinking, and cultural exchange through engagement with contemporary art. Established in 2004, the Gallery is named in honour of Doris McCarthy (1910-2010), a celebrated Canadian artist, writer, and UofT Scarborough alum (B.A., 1989). The Doris McCarthy Gallery stewards a comprehensive collection of the artist's artworks and personal and artistic archive.

Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which the University of Toronto operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
