This past Tuesday, the AGO had the pleasure of welcoming the Honourable Daiene Vernile, Ontario Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport, to our press preview for Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors.

This was the Minister’s first official visit to the Gallery after her appointment to the Cabinet in January. The Government of Ontario is an important partner for the AGO, with annual funding of approximately $21 million.
