WORK
During the day, Broom Factory offices are a shared work environment where like-minded businesses come together. Currently occupied by five tenants working in film and media, music, architecture, and leading-edge construction. The Broom Factory strives to create a collaborative space for ideas to be shared.

PLAY
When not being used as office space, the Broom Factory doubles as an all ages, accessible, eco-friendly event venue. Conceptualized by the Kingston Canadian Film Festival (KCFF), RAW Design, KPP Concerts, and the Tourism Kingston Music Portfolio, the Broom hosts workshops, panels, screenings, live music, comedy, and more. So far, we’ve hosted artists like Kevin McDonald, Shayne Koyczan, Ria Mae, Protest the Hero, Gord Sinclair, Dizzy, and many others. While we program many of our own events, we also welcome various community groups from across Kingston. We strive to create a safe and welcoming space for everyone!
