Exclusive AGO Members' Night

Exclusive AGO Members' Night
AGO Members are invited to attend our exclusive Members' Night on March 28, 2025. This special night at the gallery is exclusively for AGO Members. This evening's programming is inspired by our newest exhibition Tim Whiten: A Little Bit of Light
Special Activities for Members:
Kick-off Tim Whiten: A Little Bit of Light with a Member-exclusive guided conversation (6– 9 pm)
On the last night of our Members’ Access for our newest exhibition, an Art Educator will engage with Members as they explore the artist's lifelong preoccupation with human relationships, visible and invisible forces, and the ways rhythm and gesture permeate our consciousness. This exhibition brings together more than 30 major works by Whiten, recipient of the 2022 Gershon Iskowitz Prize. Talks will be 30 minutes long, offered at 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30.
Awkward Date Tours in Walker Court (5:30 pm – 9:00 pm)
Let our Art Educators lead the way through some of the AGO's most iconic pieces, whether it's your first museum date or your first one in years. Join us for a lively and entertaining evening, where the art does all the ice-breaking for you—you might just learn something about the art and each other.

ShopAGO: Trunk show with Colette Harmon (4pm-8pm)
Colette Harmon’s one-of-a-kind accessories are a dazzling blend of crystal, mixed metals and semi-precious stones. With an appreciation for meticulous craftsmanship, the metal meshing and intricate beadwork in each of her statement pieces are an audacious departure from mainstream minimalism.
Born in Sisters Village, Guyana, Colette studied fashion design in Toronto before apprenticing as a belt and handbag designer for a leather goods manufacturer. Harmon soon founded her own eponymous label, whose name became synonymous with maximalist glamour.
Harmon’s modern approach to vintage flair has earned her a devoted following of customers, fans and fashion stylists from across North America. Her pieces have been sold in Saks Fifth Avenue and Holt Renfrew Canada, and her work has been featured in Elle Canada, Flare, Martha Stewart Weddings and Nylon. She currently focusses on one-of-a-kind couture creations for select clientele.
