AGO Community Ambassadors at the Grange Park Festival
The AGO’s community ambassadors will start off their summer schedule of festivals this weekend at the Dano Korean Festival at Christie Pits on Saturday, June 5 from 2 to 7 pm.
Each summer, these volunteers are the face of the AGO at cultural, multi-disciplinary arts festivals across the GTA, where they meet people and chat about the Gallery.
“We are opening doors that will build relationships with communities that represent the building blocks of Toronto,” said Sue Boyle, coordinator of the community ambassadors. “We are reaching out with the hopes of connecting.”
This summer the ambassadors will be at several festivals in the GTA including Pride, Mosaic, Taste of Little Italy, Masala Mehndi Masti, and more.
“By supporting these festivals we are publically stating that we believe in what they are doing,” added Boyle. “It allows us to enter into a conversation with these incredible communities about art, why it matters to them and what role the AGO play in their lives.”
See you there!
