AGO 125 Staff & Volunteer Art Picks

By now, you’ve all saved-the-date for our special 125th Birthday Town Hall

  • Monday, June 23
  • 10:00am – 11:30am
  • Baillie Court (third floor event space)

As part of this occasion, we’re shining the spotlight on some of the many artworks you know and love from the AGO Collection, using some of those featured on the AGO 125 Iconic Works list as our pool of options. 

Here’s how you can participate in the Staff & Volunteers Art Picks:

  • Click here to cast your votes anonymously by Wednesday, June 18. There are five voting categories. Staff and volunteers are encouraged to cast their vote in each category. 
  • If the artwork you’d like to highlight from the AGO Collection isn’t listed, write it in as an “other” option.
  • The artworks that receive the most votes in each category will be revealed at our June Town Hall! 
  • We also invite you to share why you voted for each artwork. (Answers to this question may be shared anonymously as part of Town Hall festivities)

Our goal is not to select “the best” artworks but to celebrate the ones that tell our stories. Here are the categories: 

  • The work staff and volunteers spend the most time with 
  • The work staff and volunteers would like to bring home
  • The work staff and volunteers would always have on view 
  • The work that connects staff and volunteers to nature
  • The most iconic AGO artwork, as voted on by staff and volunteers 

Cast your votes using this form by Wednesday, June 18.
