14 2015 ANNUAL REPORT

On May 20th, 2015 the Beaverbrook Art Gallery officially announced a major expansion project; one that incudes exhibition galleries and public engagement spaces but also financial support for programming and increased endowment funds for operations. By the end of 2015, $24,271,500 had been raised to support this expansion project. In December 2015, the Gallery’s Board of Governors raised the campaign goal from $25 million to $28 million reflecting confidence that these additional funds can be raised to enhance the facilities and services to offer even more benefits to the community. With support from governments, corporations, foundations and individuals, new Gallery initiatives were brought to light. Brief de- scriptions of some of the exciting new developments follow.

The new Prints and Drawing Gallery in the Pavilion is supported by a $75,000 gift from John and Lois Thompson of Woodstock, N.B.
