The Weston Family Learning Centre
Imagine what art education can be...
The AGO is embarking on an exciting refurbishment and reconstruction of its “home base” for education.
The Weston Family Learning Centre represents the next chapter in our 75-year history as a leader and innovator in art education – a history initiated by world-renowned art educator Arthur Lismer. His thinking and practice influenced generations of art educators and art institutions around the globe and led to the creation of the Gallery School – the heart of education at the AGO right up until today.
The Weston Family Learning Centre is more than just a building project. It is a project that will allow us to dramatically increase our capacity and offer new spaces and programs for expanded audiences.
This project has been made possible by a significant gift from The W. Garfield Weston Foundation. The AGO is deeply grateful for the Foundation’s vision and generosity. Click here to learn more about this extraordinary gift.
We look forward to welcoming you to the new Weston Family Learning Centre in 2011.
