Hello Everyone,

• I appreciated the opportunity to speak about Look:Forward and other updates on Wednesday. Thank you to everyone who attended Town Hall – and thank you to the Public Affairs team for bringing us all together and for making sure we’re well informed about Gallery activities.

• Things are beginning to take shape in Eaton/Gelber/Elliott, re-opening in mid-March with Modern Art from our collection. See pics below. Look:Forward is a museum-wide initiative that involves everyone working together.

• Next week, I will be travelling to San Francisco with AGO trustees. The theme of our trip is: technology and how technological investments can enhance the museum experience. We will visit a few museums to see how others are using technology to increase access, facilitate learning, and improve productivity and operations. I will share key learnings with you when I’m back!

• A shout-out to everyone who will be working as we transform into KGO – Kids’ Gallery of Ontario – on Monday. Family fun and activities inspired by Francis Alÿs show.

Enjoy Family Day weekend,

Stephan
