In October 2003, the AGH began its major renovation project, transforming our 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 was 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.

In July 2012, the AGH launched an exciting new venture in the heart of the James Street North Arts District, the
AGH Design Annex. The AGH Design Annex is a creativity lab where experimental exhibitions are mounted and intimate performances staged, complemented by an exciting home and office Art + Design Store and versatile venue rental space. Located at 118 James Street North in a beautifully restored early 20th century heritage building, the AGH Design Annex provides an alternate venue for AGH programming and events that is unique in Hamilton.
