A Message From the Director and CEO 

Hello Everyone,

Today we wrapped up our successful #InfinityAGO crowdfunding campaign. Thanks to the hard work of everyone involved, over 4,700 #InfinityAGO donors and the David Yuile & Mary Elizabeth Hodgson Fund, Yayoi Kusama’s extraordinary artwork, INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM – LET’S SURVIVE FOREVER is coming to the AGO…forever. Congratulations!

It was wonderful #InfinityAGO was embraced by thousands of people, including many first-time donors like Laura Cauchi, a Toronto scientist who has never donated to an art museum – until now. Laura told us: “I’ve never donated to a cultural institution before, but the crowdfunding idea resonated with me as a way to become more engaged and invested in the AGO. I love the idea that hopefully decades from now, people can bring their children to the Infinity Mirror Room and tell their children that their grandparents helped in some small way to bring it to the AGO.”

The artwork will be here in the spring. I’m thrilled the AGO will be home to Canada’s first Kusama Infinity Mirror Room.
