THE STUDIO BUILDING In 1913-1914, painter Lawren Harris and art patron Dr. James MacCallum financed the construction of the first purpose-built artists' studios and residence in Canada, a building intended to foster the development of a distinctly Canadian style of painting. Designed by Eden Smith, the light factory construction exemplifies the simplicity of early modern architectural design. For decades, many distinguished artists have worked and lived in the Studio Building, most notably Tom Thomson and members of the Group of Seven.

LE STUDIO BUILDING En 1913-1914, le peintre Lawren Harris et le mécène Dr James MacCallum financèrent la construction du premier bâtiment expressément conçu comme studios et résidences d'artistes au Canada, un projet qui avait pour but de favoriser l'essor d'un style de peinture typiquement canadien. Érigé selon les plans d'Eden Smith, le bâtiment de type industriel témoigne de la simplicité de l'architecture moderne à ses débuts. Au fil des ans, nombre d'artistes éminents, notamment Tom Thomson et des membres du Groupe des Sept, ont travaillé et vécu au Studio Building.
