Favourite things at Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO)

I love it for being open to everyone and having kickass exhibitions (I missed Andy Warhol and was very sad). They are also free Wednesday nights.

They are redoing the gallery to open up more of the collections.

learn about art in a fun way, children-friendly, cheap way to spend the day with the whole family

A great place to spend a rainy afternoon, leisurely strolling through the galleries...the exhibits are great and the gift shop is full of prints and neat finds!

Wednesday nights 6-9pm, admission is free (except for special exhibitions)

The AGO offers a weekend class called Side by Side. It's an art class for a kid and parent to take together and an opportunity for grown-ups to get their hands dirty and make stuff. Mediums explored include printmaking, drawing, sculpture and painting.
