Donations
The AGH offers different ways to donate that will benefit your gallery for years to come:
Adopt an Artwork
Tribute and Memorial Gifts
In-Kind Donations
Adopt an Artwork

Each year, special individuals, organizations and companies adopt artworks from the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s 8,500-strong permanent collection. Our adoptive parents choose two works a year – and their support is honoured with a label next to their chosen work. This is an opportunity to share in the overall care of our beautiful collection to preserve these works today and for future generations.
You can designate your Adopt an Artwork gift towards either the Gallery’s annual or endowment campaigns. Annual funds support programming, exhibitions, studio workshops and other activities for adults, families and children. An endowment designation means the full amount of your gift will benefit long-term care of our collection and will be transferred to the Hamilton Community Foundation towards the Building A Legacy 2 endowment.
Adopt an Artwork donations:
$2000 = 1 artwork
$4000 = 2 artworks
$6000 = 3 artworks
$Other Amount ($2000 each artwork)
Join us in a unique opportunity to support artwork from our exquisite collection. For more information, please contact Jocelyn Mckeown, Membership Assistant, at 905-527-6610 ext. 241 or jocelyn@artgalleryofhamilton.com.

Tribute and Memorial Gifts
Tribute and Memorial Gifts are a special way for you to honour the significant people in your life. They provide a meaningful opportunity to keep the memory of a loved one, celebrate a birthday, holiday, graduation, anniversary or other notable occasion. Your thoughtful gift will help the Art Gallery of Hamilton achieve its mission and enrich the lives of many in the community. The Gallery will send a card to indicate that a donation has been made in recognition of your recipient.
Make a donation:
- To Remember someone special in your life
- To Thank a friend or colleague
- To Congratulate a milestone in someone's life
- To Celebrate a wedding or anniversary
- To Send "Best Wishes" for any occasion
When you make a gift, the Art Gallery of Hamilton sends a card on your behalf. If you wish, we can include your own special message. An official receipt for income tax purposes will be issued to you, the donor.
For more information or to make a Tribute or Memorial Gift, please contact Jocelyn Mckeown, Membership Assistant, at 905-527-6610 ext. 241 or jocelyn@artgalleryofhamilton.com.

"When my daughter was about seven years old, she asked me one day what I did at work. I told her I worked at the college - that my job was to teach people how to draw. She stared back at me, incredulous, and said, 'You mean they forget?'"
- Howard Ikemoto
