How has Hamilton’s industrial heritage shaped the Art Gallery of Hamilton’s Collection and the city’s cultural identity? Join guest curator Tor Lukasik-Foss, AGH President & CEO Shelley Falconer, and Director, Exhibitions & Collections and Chief Curator Tobi Bruce for a conversation exploring the connections between industry, philanthropy, and art. Through stories of collectors, donors, artists, and the communities that helped build the Collection, discover how Hamilton’s manufacturing legacy is reflected not only in the works on our walls, but in the Gallery itself. From steel magnates to the factory floor, this behind-the-scenes look at the Collection offers a fresh perspective on the people and histories that continue to shape Hamilton’s cultural landscape.
