Farewell Gala 9
When the AGO said farewell to long-time director Matthew Teitelbaum, they did so with a contemporary theme and thoughtful, customized décor. The loft-like walls of Baillie Court were adorned with bespoke wallpaper featuring black and white images from Mr. Teitelbaum’s career at the AGO – from particularly successful exhibitions to celebrity meet & greets. Chic, long tables comfortably accommodated 400 guests for a heartfelt and memorable dinner event.
