Hello Everyone,
This year as we acknowledge the AGO’s 125th anniversary there are other significant milestones to note. For example, opening in November, Collective Visions celebrates 25 years of photography at the AGO. And next week, we will celebrate the 40th anniversary of Curators’ Circle, the AGO’s community of our most avid and generous annual donors. A special Curators’ Circle event will be held on Tuesday evening focusing on our collection. Some of our CC members have been making gifts every year since 1985 – 40 years straight.
Philanthropy accounts for a significant portion of our operating revenue and is crucial to everything we do at the museum. The AGO has a wonderful community of supporters who help us all fulfill our work every day – including Curators’ Circle members.
Take care,
Stephan
PS – Do take some time to view the Faye HeavyShield exhibition, currently on view. Faye was the 2021 recipient of the Gershon Iskowitz award at the AGO. If you are in the Gallery on Saturday, there will be a public talk with the artist as part of the exhibition’s official opening, at 2pm. Please join us!
