About Membership

Membership is open to everyone but becoming a member is a step-by-step process. Gallery 44 is committed to building a sustainable and supportive environment for the advancement of contemporary photographic practice. Following our carefully developed membership procedure is important to realizing this goal.
‍
Gallery 44 is a small organization; members are expected to use the facilities independently. Gallery 44 offers several services to support our members in their artistic development, including workshops and group portfolio reviews.
‍
Members shape the Gallery 44 community. Getting involved in different levels of the organization offers members an opportunity to strengthen Gallery 44 and to belong to a larger arts community in Toronto and beyond.

Interested in becoming a member?

Our online registration opens at 8:00 AM on the last Tuesday of each month and is limited to 10 applicants. Registration will reserve your spot for the New Member Orientation occurring the following month (no orientations occur in July, August or December). Attending a New Member Orientation is a mandatory first step to member onboarding.
‍
New member intake is paused for the summer. The next New Member Orientation will occur in September. The registration period for this event will open on Tuesday, August 26 at 8:00 AM.
