Elegant. Customized. Exclusive. Memorable.
One of the most spectacular venues in Toronto, the Art Gallery of Ontario offers an unparalleled location for your corporate function. Private Corporate Evenings at the AGO are designed to meet all your business needs: entertain clients, launch new products, host employee appreciation events, and celebrate “closing the deal.” At the AGO, your corporate colleagues and prospective clients will be impressed by the sophistication of an unforgettable, behind-the-scenes experience that will make a lasting impression.
Internationally renowned architect Frank Gehry has created a space in which art, architecture and culture unite in provocative new ways. During evenings and nights – when the galleries are closed to the public – the AGO will open its doors to your guests for exclusive viewings, special exhibitions, or private tours of our collection. The AGO’s facilities will distinguish your company from the competition with style.
Your Private Corporate Evening will include:
- Exclusive use of the Gallery while closed to the public
- Private use of Baillie Court – the AGO’s prime entertaining space – to host a dinner or cocktail reception overlooking Grange Park
- Exclusive access to one of the AGO’s collecting areas or special exhibitions, accompanied by a curator and tour guides
- Fine cuisine created by executive chef Anne Yarymowich. Plan your menu and your evening with one of our event specialists
- Discounts on exhibition catalogues and retail merchandise
- The opportunity to enhance your company’s profile with signage in Baillie Court
- Valet parking, available upon request
Event Facility and Decor
Located on the third floor of the new, Frank Gehry-designed tower, Baillie Court is accessed by three private elevators. For more information please see our overview of Baillie Court.
Exclusive Art Experience
In addition to your cocktail reception or dinner, you and your guests can enjoy an exclusive viewing of one of our collections or special exhibitions while the Gallery is closed to the public.
Your support goes a long way
Proceeds from Private Corporate Evenings help support numerous Gallery initiatives – such as art conservation, special exhibitions and programming for children, youth and adults.

Personal consultations, including a daytime orientation tour of the AGO’s facilities, can be arranged prior to your special evening.
