In September 2022 the AGH is producing a large exhibition with guest curator Alexis Moline and curatorial consultant Bryce Kanbara. The exhibition (yet to be titled) will feature work created by Hamilton artists from 1950 – 2000 and serves as an expansion of the Building Cultural Legacies* project that celebrates Hamilton’s rich and immersive visual arts history and communities.

We are calling on YOU and the community to submit artworks to be displayed in this exhibition. We encourage you to share this call widely. There are a vast number of artists whose stories have not been featured and we want to highlight the diversity of Hamilton’s cultural landscape.
