Art Gallery of Ontario to re-open after month long strikes
After a period of industrial action lasting over a month, the Art Gallery of Ontario, in Toronto, is set to reopen its doors today. The reopening comes as a result of negotiations between striking workers and the museum’s management, who have been at odds since the widespread staff walkout on March 26th.
March saw over 400 workers at the art gallery participate in industrial action, walking out as a protest against low wages and poor working conditions. This period of industrial action brought one of North America’s largest art galleries to a grinding halt.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
