This past week there was an exhibit at Gallery 1313 that paid tribute to Murray McKay. Murray started modeling for college level life drawing classes in the 1990s. Between then and his passing in 2024, he had a large impact on Toronto’s art community. More than forty artists contributed their drawings or paintings of Murray to the exhibit which was simply titled “Murray”.
This exhibit was only on between 5th and 16th March (now ended)

Thank you. Unfortunately, I could not see it. Spoke to many about it. Now, you offered me some opportunity to enjoy Murray.

That’s the problem with exhibits that only last a week. By the time you hear about them there isn’t much time left. I would prefer to write posts about shows that still have time left but unfortunately that couldn’t happen here. I had never heard about Murray McKay – it was a friend that told me about the exhibit.
Thanks for this, and for directing me to Gallery 1313. I had not heard of Murry but he certainly made an impression. Nancy
