Weekly Message from Our Director and CEO, Stephan Jost

Hello Everyone,

  • Did you know…. data gleaned from the numbers of Annual Pass holders show that we have increased the diversity of our audience by 10% in just eight months – helping us get closer to our 10-year vision statement – “to reflect the people who live here”.
  • This week I have been in New York talking to journalists and media outlets focusing on raising the profile of the AGO. The Annual Pass, our upcoming exhibitions, our recent acquisitions and the quiet but steady focus on acquiring works by women and Indigenous artists were discussed.
  • It’s the Family Day weekend! PP&L staff have planned some great programming including large interactive moments of play in Walker Court. Thank you to all staff and volunteers who will be here all weekend and especially on Monday helping make Family Day amazing for our visitors.

Enjoy the long weekend,

Stephan
