Hello Everyone,
- Alicia Vandermeer spoke at the Managers and Board of Trustees meetings this week about key learnings to date from the implementation of our new Annual Pass. Here are 3 “take-aways” from Alicia’s presentation that you should feel free to share publicly: on average, 680 people are signing up for the Annual Pass every day; by the end of this fiscal year, we will have an AGO community of 300,000 Members and Annual Pass Holders; this is higher than the membership of The Met and MoMA.
- If you haven’t already seen it, be sure to check out this fun video that features feedback received from the “Twitterverse” about the AGO’s Annual Pass.
- Also this week, we announced our upcoming Picasso exhibition. Picasso: Painting the Blue Period runs next summer from June 27 to Sept. 20th. Very exciting news!
- The Public Programming & Learning team has commissioned Songs of Heaven, three choral works inspired by Early Rubens, to be performed in Walker Court on Oct. 12 and 13. It’s garnered some early attention in the press – see this article in NOW magazine.
Enjoy the weekend,
Stephan
