More about Hamilton Artists Inc.

Founded in 1975 by a core group of area artists reacting to the lack of professional exhibition venues available, the original Hamilton Artists’ Co-op was initiated as an arena for artists to exhibit artwork and meet with their peers to promote art production in the City of Hamilton. The gallery received operations funding in 1976 and received charitable status after its incorporation as an artist-run centre in 1979. The centre has been exhibiting emerging and mid-career artists both locally and from across Canada for over 25 years. In 1988, V. Jane Gordon established a curatorial Committee to encourage regional research, curating and writing using the model of artist-as-curator. Building on this strategy, the current Programming Committee continues to initiate curatorial investigations, community partnerships and off-site projects. A concerted effort has also been made to commit resources to continued publication and critical writing. Hamilton Artists Inc. continues to define a regional dialogue within a national and international context by presenting challenging contemporary artwork, stimulating critical dialogue and fostering local artist initiatives.

Hamilton Artists Inc is guided by a series of objectives, which help shape the mandate and vision, direct policies, and drive programming and community activities.

Short and long-term goals are set for each programme and are designed to meet objectives and activities, which are evaluated regularly to maintain relevance within national dialogues and engage audiences.

Artistic Advancement; Audience Development and Retention; Organizational Leadership and Innovation; Community and Education Outreach
