Hamilton Arts
Your connection to the arts!
Founded in 1969 and incorporated in 1973, Arts Hamilton is one of the oldest and second largest community arts councils in Ontario. We are a not-for-profit agency that works to educate the residents of the Hamilton area on the importance of the arts and to promote our viable cultural community to the region. We are an arts organization that strives to be equitable in both definitions of the word "culture".
We have over 150 volunteers working in different capacities such as:
Board of Directors, fundraising, committee work; Visual Arts, Literary, Together in Dance, Craft, and Performance, clerical and office help.

Art Gallery Of Hamilton
Founded in 1914, the Art Gallery of Hamilton is Ontario's third largest public art gallery and owns one of the finest collections in Canada. The Gallery has three major collecting and programming strengths as seen in its 8,500+ permanent collection: 19th-century European, Historical Canadian and Contemporary Canadian.
In October 2003, the AGH began a major renovation project, transforming an aging building into an international art destination and safeguarding art works from the leaks that plagued the building. Designed by Hamilton-born and raised architect Bruce Kuwabara, the $18 million recladding and revitalization project is funded by the Canada-Ontario Infrastructure Program (through the Governments of Canada and Ontario), the City of Hamilton, Dofasco, and the generous support of corporations, foundations and individuals.

The Carnegie Gallery
2005 marks our 25th anniversary
The Carnegie building, located at 10 King Street West in Dundas, opened in 1910. It was the site of the town's first library and was funded by a donation from American industrialist, Andrew Carnegie, and the citizens of Dundas. Today it plays a central role in the historic character of the Valley Town. In 1980 it became the home of the Dundas Art & Craft Association, a non-profit organization, and the spirit of community education and service has been continued.
