AGO Gets Uncommon Gift

“An unusual group donation by 20 Italian-Canadian families will pump $10-million into the Art Gallery of Ontario’s ambitious expansion and renovation program… The $10-million, which the AGO has been touting as “a milestone gift,” means the gallery has now raised 87 per cent of the $207-million it budgeted for its Transformation AGO capital campaign. Overall cost of the expansion, to be completed by mid-2008, is $254-million, which includes a $50-million endowment already raised.”
