ABOUT ALL TOGETHER NOW

This winter, the AGO presents a program of three performances that span art, music, comedy, literature and theatre, live in Walker Court. The program explores ways collaboration, creation and performance are formative to experiences of community. Free with admission and presented on select Friday evenings, the series continues the AGO’s commitment to bringing live culture into the museum space, offering opportunities for audiences to immerse themselves in diverse expressions, stories and provocations that cross artistic disciplines.
