The RMG Remains Closed for Now

February 18, 2021

As of February 16, Durham Region was placed in the Red – control category of the provincial framework. In this stage, and within the provincial framework, The Robert McLaughlin Gallery (RMG) can reopen with restrictions and appropriate health measures in place. At this time, we are staying closed. The City of Oshawa recreational facilities remain closed and we are awaiting their reopening date in order to align with their plans.

We are all looking forward to having visitors back in the gallery to experience our exhibitions in person. In the meantime, I encourage you to check out Virtual RMG and our upcoming live digital programming and weekly Friday Frames for schools.

Take care of each other,

Lauren Gould, Chief Executive Officer
