Hello Everyone,
I mentioned last week that my mother would be my guest at the Thomas J. Price public unveiling this week. She actually enjoyed a number of AGO visits, and I got to experience the museum from her perspective. One surprise and delight that she shared with me more than once was the diversity of our visitors. She sat in the new seating area in shopAGO for a long time just enjoying the ebb and flow of people.
I know that many staff and volunteers have been enjoying the museum, special events, and camps with their families this summer and that is one of the best parts of working in an art museum. A reminder as we move into another long weekend that we will be open to the public on Monday from 10:30am to 4:00pm. Thank you again to all of you who make it possible for us to open on a holiday Monday.
I will be on vacation with my family until August 17th and look forward to reconnecting then.
Take care,
Stephan
