You can become a member and receive voting rights and more for $5-7/month by registering here. You may also qualify for membership if you have done 10 or more hours of volunteer time with any videogame arts and culture-related event in the city in 2018 — not just for HES!

WHAT’S ON THE AGENDA?

• Introduction of staff and the Board
• Overview of past, present and future activities, dreams and schemes
• Proposals and ideas for upcoming workshops, events, community-building strategies, etc.
• Presentation of financial activities and voting-in of new policies (voting HES members only)
• Agenda will be sent out 1 week before the AGM proper.

2018 was an incredibly busy and prolific time for us. Our main activities included the Experimental Game Design Workshop series, Comics X Games, Camp Make-A-Game, Game Curious with Art Starts at Chester Le, the Hand Eye Society Ball, WordPlay, Fund Futures with Ontario Creates, and numerous other one-offs, partnerships, and socials in-between! And 2019 promises to be even more exciting, seeing as it’s just our 🎉 10 Anniversary 🎉 and all! Come out and see what we’ve accomplished and where we’re headed after a decade of playful arts and culture programming, with the help of our incredibly generous Membership, sponsors, partners, and of course, the community where it all happens. We would have never made it this far without you. Together, let’s shape the next 10 years of creative game-making and playing in Toronto!
