Explore the freedom of abstract art.
Abstract art is a visual expression that focuses on emotion, energy, colour and shape. Participants are encouraged to experiment with materials and ideas, using patterns, motion and texture to communicate mood or ideas without creating a literal image.
The program offers low-barrier entry into visual art, emphasizing play, interpretation, and the joy of the creative process. Participants can work independently or follow a series of optional prompts. It is perfect for anyone who wants to explore art in a judgment-free environment.
The first Hamilton Public Library building opened on September 16, 1890 by the Earl and Countess of Aberdeen on the north side of Main Street West. In 1913, a new main library opened. This building was replaced in 1980 by Central Library, at the current location on York Boulevard.
In 2010, Central Library re-opened after approximately 18 months of renovations. Central Library opened with a newly revitalized first floor, which includes a Community Living Room that takes advantage of natural light. The Ontario Library Association honoured Central in 2012 with an Architectural and Design Transformation award.
