McMichael Plucks Frick Director

“Thomas J. Smart, director of collections and exhibitions at [Pittsburgh’s] Frick Art & Historical Center since July 1999, will leave the museum to become executive director of The McMichael Canadian Art Collection in Toronto, Ontario… The McMichael collection includes First Nations and Inuit artworks and is the foremost venue in Canada for paintings by the Group of Seven, landscape artists who were active in the first half of the last century.”
