Become a Member
articule’s membership is fluid and open to anyone who supports our mandate and activities. You do not have to be an artist to become a member.
We aim to maintain a non-hierarchical, transparent and democratic structure to foster cultural and generational diversity within the centre.
There are two ways to become a member, and remain an active member. Each programming year (August - June):
Complete four hours of volunteer work and attend one general assembly, or
Attend two general assemblies
The annual membership fee is $1.
Members are invited to join our permanent and ad hoc committees, and help with general tasks at the centre.
In exchange, active members are given opportunities to gain professional experience on both administrative and artistic levels, and initiate projects through our various committees. You can also make a donation to the centre to support our activities and become a friend of articule.
Members benefit from professional workshops, reduced prices on our multiples and rentals, and receive our monthly members’ newsletter. Active members are eligible to become Board members, and have the right to vote at the elections and the assemblies.
Volunteering is not limited to committee participation. If you're not interested in joining a committee, you can still become a member by attending our general meetings and keeping in touch in the meantime! You can also suggest other virtual/in-person ways of getting involved.
Contact us to have access to the form!
Compliant with Law 25, if ever you would like all of your personal records removed from articule's archives, please send an email to rh-hr@articule.org.
Committees
Long term programming
Programming exhibitions, performance, music, talks, video and other special events that reflect articule’s desire to expose new work of a challenging nature to our audience. Work in all media is considered with an emphasis on work of which the content addresses contemporary aesthetics, cultural and social issues, and work by artists for which the production might not be considered mainstream or part of the dominant culture.
Short term programming
Complementing the exhibition programming at articule, the short term programming known as Special Projects promotes independent projects of diverse natures for public presentation. The committee has a particular interest in “undisciplined” practices and projects that manifest themselves in site-specific contexts and/or alternatives sites.
Writers' Club
The Writers' Club produces and disseminates texts to accompany exhibitions and projects presented by articule. The club's objective is to educate, experiment and spark dialogue between exhibited works, articule members and the wider public.

Fabulous Committee
