STRATEGIC PLAN
2024–2027

Union Gallery’s 2024-2027 Strategic Plan acknowledges that, after its incorporation in April 2023, the gallery is in a period of transformation and assessing its roles, responsibilities, and relationships. In line with this context, extending from the gallery’s renewed mandate and values, and informed by a summer 2023 strategic planning retreat with gallery members; members of Katarokwi/Kingston communities; Queen’s University students, faculty, and staff; and Union Gallery staff, the following strategic goals will lead Union through 2024-2027:

1. Prioritize art and programming that is transformative, socially engaged, and that advocates for equity-deserving groups.

2. Develop collaborations and partnerships with organizations and groups throughout the Katarokwi/Kingston region to strengthen reciprocal and sustainable relationships with communities.

3. Expand, diversify, and strengthen relationships with Union’s audiences. Develop creative ways to engage communities through exhibitions and programming.

4. Assess and activate Union’s relationship to departments and programs at Queen’s and mobilize its position as a community-driven experiential learning hub located within the space of the University.

5. Ensure financial and human resource sustainability for Union’s programs and operations.

6. Develop sustainability and anti-harassment policies.
