Hello everyone,

Annabelle Selldorf is our design architect for the Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery. She is part of a team including Don Schmitt of Diamond Schmitt, executive architect, and Brian Porter of Two Row, Indigenous architect. Earlier this week I listened to an interesting podcast called “Time Sensitive” featuring Annabelle – linked HERE.

This week we are saying good-bye to another long-serving employee, this time Gillian McIntyre. Gillian is retiring from the AGO effective today. Gillian joined the AGO back in 1995 as an intern and has since taken on a number of roles including coordinating the museum’s first youth program, developing an array of courses and projects as Adult Program Coordinator, and most recently as Interpretive Planner. I know you all will join me in wishing Gillian well. She has been a wonderful colleague to many and has made significant contributions to our mission, and to engaging our public. Thank you, Gillian!

Take care,

Stephan
