$1M Donation to Vancouver Art Gallery Community Education Initiatives

The team at McEwan Partners is dedicated to giving back to the community and grateful for the opportunities to make a positive impact. Long time supporters of the arts, our colleague George Macintosh, K.C. and his spouse, Jessica Yan Macintosh saw an opportunity to share the value of art with the broader community and recently made a $1 million donation to the Vancouver Art Gallery. The gift will enrich the Gallery’s educational initiatives, with an emphasis on making art more accessible to newcomers and underserved children and youth from diverse backgrounds. Part of the donation will also go toward constructing the new Vancouver Art Gallery at the Chan Centre for the Visual Arts, set to open in 2028.

At a recent reception, Jessica and George Macintosh highlighted art’s impact on young people.

The Vancouver Art Gallery has shown it knows how to connect underserved kids to the magic of art. That’s why we donated,” explained Jessica and George Macintosh. “If just five children a year sense what art can do to enrich the rest of their lives, our gift will have been worthwhile.
