Annual General Meeting 2026: Celebrating Community and Creativity
Thursday 10 December 2027 | 5pm - 6pm | FREE, register your space

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is an open invitation for our visitors, artists, volunteers, supporters and local residents to come together to reflect with us on the past year and look ahead at our next chapter. Whether you are a long-term friend of the gallery or curious about how we support the cultural life of Northern Devon, we welcome you to join the conversation.
The 1-hour meeting will balance our official charity compliance with a look at the impact of our work this year and our plans for the year to come. The agenda will include:
• The Annual Report: a brief review of the past year's artistic milestones, community education successes and operational highlights.
• 25/26 Financial Accounts: presentation of our annual financial statements and report
• Governance and Elections: the formal election and re-election of members to our Board of Trustees.
• Future Horizons: an overview from our leadership team outlining upcoming projects and goals for the year ahead.
Please note that while all members of the public are warmly invited to attend, only registered voting members are eligible to vote on formal resolutions and board appointments. If you have an inquiry you would like to address to the Board of Trustees please email secretary@theburton.org by Thursday 3 December.
