Saturday, October 24, 2009

Ladies, Plan to start the day with a sumptuous breakfast at the Roof Salon in the Park Hyatt Toronto. Then take in a stimulating presentation by renowned architectural historian, Dr. Shelly Hornstein, who will help us understand better the important relationship between art and the museums that house it. An extremely timely presentation given Toronto’s two new world-class museums. Hop on the bus and end your morning with a private tour of the new AGO and an enhanced appreciation of both image and space.

Please join us for this truly unique experience. See you then!
