NAC Gets An Unexpected Gift

Canada’s National Arts Centre “is expected to collect at least $500,000 from the sale of the estate of James Wilson Gill. He died in December after a long fight with cancer, leaving his Ottawa home and his extensive and valuable art collection to the centre… He was unknown to most NAC patrons, including many of those heavily involved in fundraising for the centre… The precise value of Mr. Gill’s estate will not be known until his house and art collection are sold, a process that could take several months.”
