The WAG said more than 4,000 people visited Saturday, a new record for the opening day of an exhibition.
“What an outstanding way to kick off two exceptional exhibitions,” said Stephen Borys, WAG Director & CEO. “Visitors asked for more world class art and these opening numbers tell us that we’ve hit the mark once again. It was also rewarding to see such an amazing cross-section of the city at the WAG - people from every community, and every age and background, making the most of their art gallery.”
