How do I renew my membership?
The renewal date for all Gallery 44 memberships occurs on October 1 each year. On this date, you will be emailed an invoice for your membership renewal fee to cover another year of membership. This can be paid online, over the phone, or in person at the office.

Once your renewal fee is paid, your membership will be renewed for another year. Payment of this invoice must be done within 30 days in order to maintain access to your membership benefits.

Can I request a payment plan?
Members can request their payment be split into two or three monthly instalments. This request must be sent to the Head of Membership & Facilities prior to the October 1 renewal date.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership?
Requests to upgrade from a Day Membership to Full Membership can be sent to the Head of Membership & Facilities any time. A pro-rated upgrade fee and passcard deposit will apply.

Downgrading from a Full Membership to a Day Membership can only occur during our annual renewal period. You will be sent a Membership Change Request form in September via email. You can use this to request your change.

Can I renew my membership later than October?
All Gallery 44 memberships are annual memberships - we do not offer monthly memberships.

If your membership was active anytime within the previous membership year, you will not have access to a pro-rated fee (eg. you will be charged a full renewal fee regardless of when you pay your renewal invoice).

What happens if I don't pay my renewal fee?
After October 31, members with overdue renewal invoices will be considered lapsed and access to membership benefits will be lost until the renewal fee is paid.

If a renewal fee invoice remains unpaid the following January, the membership will be cancelled.

If you decide not to renew your membership, please let us know so we can void your invoice and make sure you aren't sent auto-reminders for it.

Can I rejoin in the future after I've cancelled my membership?
You will have one year from your cancellation date to re-join our membership. After one year has passed, you may be required to re-attend a New Member Orientation. These orientations have very limited capacity.
