Dear Volunteers,
Thank you all for your patience while we re-opened the Gallery and Andy Warhol for Members’ and Annual Passholders!
We are excited to provide volunteers with visiting access, a first step in our re-opening plan. In order to continue to having safe operations on site, all tickets, (including those for staff and volunteers) must be booked in advance.
Starting today, volunteers are invited to book any of the following:
- 2 Special exhibition tickets for Andy Warhol. (There is a maximum of 2 exhibition tickets per volunteer) – one of these tickets will be for you, another for your guest. Warhol tickets include general gallery admission – so feel free to wander and see what’s new in the permanent collection galleries.
- Not planning to see Warhol? You can book up to 4 General Admission tickets (I.e. to visit the permanent collection galleries) in one visit. One of these tickets will be for you; and 3 for your guests.
- For either option – you do not need to provide the name or contact details of your guests. The booking will be made under your name.
For both options, please:
Call the Contact Centre on 416-979-6608 or email [email protected] and make sure to:
- Specify if you are booking ticket(s) for Andy Warhol (which includes General Gallery Admission), or General Admission only
- Please include the Date and time you would like to attend
- Provide the name and email address for where to email the tickets. (This can be a name other than yours). The tickets will be sent out as PDFs that can be shown on a smartphone or printed in advance of your visit.
Please provide 3 business days’ notice in advance of your visit so we can email you your tickets.
Some to things keep in mind:
- You can bring your volunteer badge for discounts in shopAGO or AGO Bistro, but it is not needed for entry into the Gallery. You will not be asked to show your badge along with your ticket, and badges can’t be used to gain entry into the building. You will need to use the main entrance to visit, not Jackman Hall, which is closed. The volunteer lounge also remains closed.
- When visiting, please remain in the public areas of the Gallery. The Volunteer Lounge and other back of house areas are restricted at this time for the safety of those who are required to work on-site.
- For any Volunteers who have a membership or Annual Pass, we encourage you to continue to use your membership to book your tickets, online, in advance of visiting.
- The Contact Centre is busy! We are grateful for your assistance in booking in advance.
We know it’s been a long time; we are looking forward to seeing you!
