Play with light and contrast through silhouette and shadow-based art.
This drop-in creative program explores the bold, expressive world of silhouette and shadow art.
This program invites participants to consider the power of outlines and shadows to communicate emotion, movement, or narrative. Projects can include paper cut silhouettes, layered shadow compositions and light-and-dark drawing techniques. Accessible, calming and visually striking, this program works well for beginners and confident creators alike.
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.
