Enter the uncanny world of surreal horror.
This drop-in expressive and atmospheric art program invites adults to explore the unsettling genre of surreal and dreamlike horror. Drawing on themes of nightmares, subconscious fears and uncanny imagery, participants will use drawing, collage, or mixed media to create works that are haunting, poetic and strange.
This program encourages personal interpretation, experimental techniques and embracing the weird. No experience is necessary, just curiosity and a willingness to explore the unknown.
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.
