Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an excellent opportunity to learn about all the activities, accomplishments, funding announcements, workshops, exhibitions, and events from the past year. It is also a great time for you, our members, to exercise your voice in the future governance of Factory, and to let us know what you want to see from the organization.
This year we’re excited to hold a hybrid AGM – in-person at our gallery space at 366 Victoria Ave. N. in Hamilton, ON, with an online zoom room as well for folks to join remotely if needed! Our 19th Annual Members Screening will follow the AGM. Join us for a cozy afternoon of celebrating FMC’s accomplishments this past year, and envisioning our future together!
The AGM is open to all members, and is free to attend. There will be snacks and light refreshments provided.
Any member unable to attend the AGM may appoint another member or the Secretary of the Board to vote on their behalf as proxy. You can download the proxy form as a Word Document or fillable PDF:
All current Factory members are eligible to nominate another member to the Board of Trustees to be elected at the AGM. You can download the nomination form as a fillable PDF if you would like to make a nomination:
