A vision to provide the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) with a new and expanded landmark modern building has taken one big step towards being secured, following the largest financial contribution ever to an art gallery in Canada.
During a press conference on Thursday morning, a $100-million donation was announced by Michael Audain, the chairman of local development firm Polygon Homes, and a renowned art collector and philanthropist.
