An exciting new initiative in Hamilton is enabling visitors to interact with pieces in the permanent collection like never before. Sponsored by the incite Foundation for the Arts, Beyond the Frame is a groundbreaking art-activation project that uses audio, video, and augmented reality to provide interpretive, sensory, and reimagined experiences to activate selected works from the AGH Collection.

The journey toward gender equality requires courage, determination and resilience. These words perfectly epitomize the subjects of Her Too: Contemporaries of Helen McNicoll, a new exhibition at the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

There’s no other place like it. When it comes to kids’ camps for March Break and summer vacation, nothing can compare to a week at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. Where else can campers enjoy great art from Canada and around the world, and also learn from practicing artists who have a passion for teaching?

January is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month in Canada.  The aim of the month is to raise awareness and challenge stigma surrounding Alzheimer’s and dementia. As our communities age, we see the impact of dementia and the stigma that surrounds it becoming ever more widespread in Canada.

The Art Gallery of Hamilton has been presenting specialized programs for people living with dementia and their families for many years, and through this work, we have connected with many wonderful participants and their families.

The AGH’s legacy of providing family-focused programming dates back to 1950, when the Women’s Volunteer Committee was formed. The first “Fun Fair” was held the following year on the lovely grounds of Hillfield School to help attract a new generation of visitors to the Gallery. It was truly a day to remember!
