The Union Gallery is a unique place within the cultural landscape of the City of Kingston in that it is a hybrid - a student organization that supports university art students and professional artists in its program of exhibitions and off - site projects.

It serves all Kingston residents, building bridges between the University student population and the borader Kingston community. The gallery opened in 1994 and is staffed by professionals including a part-time Director and Program Assistant.

The gallery has a Board of Directors that includes art students and professionals who meet bi-weekly and are involved in all aspects of gallery operations.
