With an emphasis on the works of Frederick Horsman Varley and those of his fellow members of the Group of Seven, the collection also boasts works from such artists as James Wilson Morrice, Phillip Surrey, Molly Lamb Bobak, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Jack Bush and Sorel Etrog.<\/p>\n<p>After a short construction delay, the Varley will open its new $2.5 million gallery space this winter. The expansion has been made possible thanks to a major contribution from Mr. Wallace Joyce to the Varley-McKay Art Foundation in 2008. The Varley Art Gallery also wishes to thank the Town of Markham, the Government of Ontario and the Varley-McKay Art Foundation for their generous support of this project.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/image006-Varley-New.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5532\" title=\"image006 Varley New\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artoronto.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/image006-Varley-New.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"235\" height=\"196\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>November 19, 2011 &#8211; May 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Varley Art Gallery of Markham<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In anticipation of the opening of a new exhibition space dedicated to its permanent collection<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/?p=5528\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5531,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-listings_archive","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5528","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5528"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5535,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5528\/revisions\/5535"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/5531"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/artoronto.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
