Weekly Message from Our Director & CEO, Stephan Jost

Hello Everyone,

There is some amazing programming for Fragments coming up and if you’re onsite this weekend, check out AGO Live: Sonic Saturdays Steel Pan.

Our events section of the website https://ago.ca/events/browse has more details about this performance and other talks including an Art in the Spotlight talk with Georgiana Uhlyarik on the work of Mary Hiester Reid next Tuesday at 4pm (register, HERE) Mary Hiester Reid is the first woman artist to have a retrospective at the AGO – albeit posthumous – in 1922.

Take care and stay safe,

Stephan

PS – A reminder that next Thursday, September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. I encourage you to wear orange shirts to honour the experiences of Indigenous Peoples including the effects of residential schools and their legacy.
