Weekly Message from Our Director and CEO, Stephan Jost

Hello Everyone,

  • Thank you again to Advancement, F&B, Logistics, Curatorial, Facilities, PSD and all other staff involved in last Saturday’s Art Bash gala fundraiser, which was a wonderful success. Click this link http://www.georgepimentel.dphoto.com/#/album/a5148z to view some pics from the night. Renowned photographer George Pimentel captured terrific photos of gala guests, art installations and décor.

 

  • If you haven’t had a chance to view the new exhibit of First World War photos in the Odette Gallery, please be sure to check it out. This is an interesting story about one of the lenders with a personal connection to the photos, which was posted in time for Remembrance Day: https://globalnews.ca/news/4649762/ago-exhibit-black-soldiers/.

 

  • I’m thrilled that so many people are supporting #InfinityAGO to help bring a Yayoi Kusama Infinity Mirror Room to the AGO. In just three weeks, we’ve raised more than $385,000 from 3,000+ donors – and we’re not done yet. By the time the campaign finishes, we will have acquired a new Infinity Mirror Room, capitalized on the excitement and buzz from this spring’s highly successful exhibition and gained thousands of new donors and advocates. If you haven’t done so yet, please consider a donation to the campaign. We revealed the room to the public today – check it out here.

Enjoy the weekend,

Stephan
