It’s a circus at the National Gallery of Canada this week with the opening of the highly anticipated summer exhibition The Great Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown, on view from June 25 to September 19. This spectacular exhibition of nearly 200 paintings, drawings, prints, vintage photographs, sculptures and videos takes an original look at more than 200 years of art inspired by the magic of the circus.
