Exclusive | Talk & Reception: Bright Signs

Wednesday, September 11, 6:00 pm
Art Gallery of Ontario

AGO Next is a donor membership program for philanthropists in their 20s and 30s who are looking for opportunities to engage with art at the AGO.

AGO Next events are open to current AGO Next donors. Find out more about this philanthropic program.


AGO Next donors, please join us for a talk, reception, and viewing to celebrate Bright Signs: Spotlight on Video Art, an exhibition that brings together works by 11 leading contemporary artists. Spanning three decades, the presentation includes cinematic video installations and neon sculptures, many of which have yet to be seen at the AGO.

Bright Signs features artworks that will form the cornerstone for the expansion of the new Dani Reiss Modern and Contemporary Gallery, which begins construction in 2024.

For requests for Verbal Description, American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and/or live captioning for online and onsite programming, please provide three weeks notice in advance of the event date. The AGO will make every effort to provide accommodation for requests made with less than three weeks notice. Please note that automated captioning is available for all online programs. For onsite visits, the AGO offers these supports for an accessible visit. Please contact us to make a request for these or other accessibility accommodations. Learn more about accessibility at the AGO.
