The Art of Creation Exhibition is a collaboration between the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Sloboda Lab at McMaster University, Hamilton-based artists, and pregnant Hamiltonians.

The Art of Creation Exhibition which will be at the Turner Park Branch from November 5 until December 3, aims to inspire discussions about the importance of investing in and supporting pregnant people and those planning to become pregnant. The Art of Creation is a collaboration between the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Sloboda Lab at McMaster University, Hamilton-based artists, and pregnant Hamiltonians. Together, we share insights into the pregnancy journey and how parents’ health before and during pregnancy shapes the health of future generations.

At the Sloboda Lab, scientists research the Early Origins of Health and Disease - the idea that our health is affected by our parents' health before and during pregnancy and by our environment for our first 1,000 days of life. Hamilton-based artists were invited to visit the lab, watch experiments and learn from the scientists who do this research. Then, they created pieces ranging from spoken word to murals to share what they learned with you.

At the same time, 47 pregnant Hamiltonians gathered during arts-based support groups led by artists and scientists. These groups created a supportive space to share the joys and challenges of being pregnant and discuss Early Origins science. Artwork created in these support groups showcases the pregnancy experience through the point of view of pregnant Hamiltonians, who could be your neighbours, coworkers, and/or family members.
