This drop-in series, hosted by AGO librarians and archivists, offers visitors a first-hand glimpse of highlights from the AGO Library & Archives collections.
In this installment, Acting Special Collections Archivist Camille McDayter will share archival materials relating to the lives and artistic careers of women who were members of Toronto’s Heliconian Club. This year marks the 150th anniversary of the construction of Heliconian Hall, home to the club since 1932.
The display will feature a selection of photographs, sketches, correspondence, and ephemera, shown alongside works on paper from the AGO’s Prints & Drawings vault.
Please visit the Marvin Gelber Print & Drawing Study Centre at any point between 6 and 8 PM to experience this glimpse into Toronto’s artistic history. This event is included in General Admission.
