Presented by Tricon, the event on September 25, 2025, brought more than 1000 AGO supporters together — many of whom are part of the AGO’s storied past, dynamic present and exciting future — to raise more than $1.4 million to support the museum’s collections, exhibitions and access programs. This fundraising achievement is the largest for the event to date. The 2025 edition of Art Bash was co-chaired by Consuelo Jackman, Trinity Jackman and Victoria Jackman.
