Hello Everyone,

I hope you are enjoying the glorious weather!

In the last years, the AGO has invested in new systems like Tessitura to help streamline processes, create efficiencies, and help gather and secure data. We have recently undergone another system upgrade with the launch of Workday – our new Finance and HR system. This was a multi-department effort that required major contributions from IT, Finance, and HR. Thank you to those who have been working hard on this launch, and to everyone for adapting to our new technology.

An important and beautiful tribute to David Blackwood’s printmaking legacy, David Blackwood: Myth & Legend, opens next Wednesday. The AGO is home to Blackwood’s archives, and we hold the world’s largest collection of his work. While the icy imagery of his work is in stark contrast to our current reality, let this be a gentle reminder of the beauty of winter.

Take care,

Stephan
