Metamorphoses: Visions of Antiquity in the Modern Era invites visitors to journey through time as ancient, modern, and contemporary art come together in conversation. The exhibition—which is on view at the AGH until January 4, 2026—explores how artists have reimagined classical traditions over centuries.

Throughout November and December, Hamilton-based artist Heidi Berton has been transforming the rear wall of the AGH Creative Lab into a spectacular mural that embodies the playful atmosphere of the space and explores some of the iconic works in the AGH collection.

“It feels like a great big smile.”

A young visitor to the Art Gallery of Hamilton recently used these words to describe Julianna Biernacki’s textile art piece, Meeting at the table, upon seeing it for the first time. The small boy was beaming with joy as he made this comment  – a reaction many people have experienced when viewing this colourful and exuberant work.

AGH Art Sales + Services is proud to be hosting Zaagigi | Growth, a showing of Cody Houle’s remarkable work that runs from October 2 to 26, 2025. Through vibrant, expressive paintings, Houle explores personal and cultural transformation, reclaiming identity, healing from intergenerational trauma, and deepening the connection with his Indigenous roots.

The Art Gallery of Hamilton is saddened to hear about the passing of artist April Hickox on August 15, 2025 after an extended battle with cancer. April’s work graced many exhibitions at the AGH throughout the years and she was a good friend of the Gallery.
