This year’s AGM is an opportunity to gather as a community, celebrate the work of the RMG, and reflect on a meaningful year of exhibitions, programs, partnerships, and public impact. Guests are invited to enjoy refreshments, take part in a brief curatorial tour of Sukaina Kubba: Not Soft by Nature, hear staff presentations highlighting our work in 2025, and help us welcome new members to the RMG Board of Directors.

To celebrate the occasion, we are pleased to offer 20 free RMG individual memberships to the first 20 guests. These memberships may be used to renew your own membership or, for current members, gifted to someone else. RMG membership also includes participation in the Galleries Ontario / Ontario Association of Art Galleries reciprocal membership program, providing access to many public art galleries across Ontario at no cost.
