Hello Everyone,

I have been in New York City for the past couple of days with the Contemporary Circle, a group of AGO supporters with a deep interest in global contemporary art.

Xiaoyu Weng, our new Carol and Morton Rapp Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art, has provided a wonderful program of art viewing and experiences. We have visited numerous museums and artists’ studios. The Development Team has ensured all of our donors are having a great experience. 

I’ll be back at the AGO tomorrow to celebrate the re-opening of the Murray Frum Gallery and new visions for African Art, featuring Canadian-Congolese artist Moridja Kitenge Banza’s exhibition Et la lumière fut: And there was light, curated by Dr. Julie Crooks.

Stay safe and take care,

Stephan
