AGNES Membership

Dear AGNES Supporters,

We have accomplished so much over the last year. We’ve settled into our temporary home at Rideau Building (207 Stuart St) and produced four on-site exhibitions (Kinnomics, Xenolithic, The Clearing, Fluorescent Beige), with two more on the way for winter 2025/26 (Hotline, Midheaven).

We’ve offered dozens of artmaking workshops, art classes, talks and film screenings all open to the public and at either very low or no cost.

We continued to host artists in residence, commission artworks and support diverse artistic communities in Kingston and beyond. Two major highlights include our massively popular pop up container, The Clearing and an unforgettable evening of drag and fashion at our second annual Historical Costume Ball Drag Show Fashion Pageant Spectacular!

We could not have accomplished this important work without your support! Members matter to Agnes: your contributions directly support our artistic program, community engagement activities and ensure our programs are accessible to all. 

We’re excited to have you continue as a member in 2026, especially as we look towards the reopening of Agnes Reimagined, our landmark new building. If you haven’t done so yet, you can renew your membership by visiting agnes.queensu.ca.

If you’re not currently a member, we have several levels to choose from, great for students, families, artists and those further afield. An Agnes membership comes with awesome benefits too! You’ll receive:

• discounted access to fee-based courses, programs and ticketed events
• discounts on publications
• invitations to special members’ events with visiting artists, curators and scholars
• Curator’s Circle and Director’s Circle Members enjoy additional behind-the-scenes access, tax benefits and annual recognition events
• reciprocal benefits and admissions offered through Galeries Ontario / Ontario Galleries

We’re also working to improve our membership experience as we prepare to reopen the art centre in late 2026! Fill out our four question survey today and enter a chance to win an Agnes tote bag!
