Presentation House Gallery announced today a lead gift of $4-million for its new building from Polygon Homes Ltd. and the Audain Foundation. Polygon Homes president Neil Chrystal made the gift at an event in North Vancouver today. With this donation, Presentation House Gallery is moving forward with plans to open in the new gallery on Vancouver's waterfront in 2017. The new facility will be named the Polygon Gallery, inspired by the lead gift.
"We are deeply honoured by this generous gift from Polygon Homes and the Audain Foundation, by far the largest gift ever given to our Gallery in its 30-year history," says Gallery Executive Director Reid Shier. "When we move into our new home in 2017, we will be thrilled to open under a name that reflects our many-faceted programmes and world-class exhibitions."
