Dylan Cease and Art Gallery of Ontario announce collaboration

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Dylan Cease is collaborating with the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) to launch a limited-edition merchandise collection titled ‘AGO x Cease’. The collection features Cease’s painting, ‘Eve of Toronto (2026)’, which was created around the time of his arrival in Toronto.

The gallery will display the painting in person for one hour, allowing fans to view the artwork and meet the artist. All proceeds from the collection will support the AGO’s charitable mission. Cease, who paints as a hobby, noted that the process provides him with relaxation and joy.
