articule is an artist-run centre, meaning we are run by and for artists. Our open-access and non-profit structure allows our members and the public to view and participate in our gallery and events with minimum costs to membership. Our open structure encourages the direct participation of members in both programming and organising.

articule’s programming fosters a broad range of contemporary, interdisciplinary, and socially engaged art. We are open to all disciplines and types of projects in our exhibits, workshops, screenings, forums, and research-based work. We welcome artists who are risk-takers and commit themselves to experimenting. Though emerging artists are prioritized, we also respect established artists who continue to test limits but are often underrepresented.

articule curates programming which is out of the box and encourages discussions between diverse artists of local, national, and international backgrounds. We collaborate with collectives and organizations, whether artistic or not, to support us in building networks and recognizing the importance of knowledge-sharing and community. 

articule provokes dialogue and critical thinking by thoughtfully maintaining a space which promotes a diversity of experiences and artistic practices. We also accommodate the time-sensitive needs and initiatives of artists and diverse communities by offering flexible, short-term opportunities known as Special Projects. 

articule is constantly evolving by adopting and developing transparent and radical policies so that we can continue to meet the priorities of our membership and evaluate our growth.
