Members of the Junior Associates of the Art Gallery of Ontario wanted to “run their events their way, they say – events that generated as much as $90,000 for buying art” and they wanted to say how the money they raised was spent on contemporary art. When the Toronto museum refused (who’s running the place anyway?) the volunteers left the museum en masse to start their own organization. “In the world of volunteer management, the AGO power struggle is a classic, if somewhat extreme, cautionary tale of our times – the ramped-up needs and expectations of the female baby boomers pitted against the institution in financial and administrative extremity.”
