Oxygen Art Centre announces updates to its’ Membership format, with added perks!
As a nonprofit organization, registered charity, and rural artist-run centre, we rely on annual memberships to support the ongoing operations but also to demonstrate to funders that folks care about the work we do.
Oxygen’s Membership format has not changed since 2019 (or earlier?) and so Staff + Board engaged in a review of the rates and perks in order to develop this new, shiny, only-slightly-increased membership format.
This review coincides with the artist-run centre’s strategic planning activities with Nate Gerber (Interplxy) that we started in December 2025. As we near completion of this incredible process and set our sights on the work to be done, as well as Oxygen’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting (Friday, November 6, 2026), the time for change is now.
