Bring your inner creature to life.
This drop-in whimsical and imaginative art program invites participants to explore creatures from mythology, folklore, fantasy and their imagination. Participants will create monsters, guardians or spirit companions using drawing, mixed media, or collage.
Whether inspired by dragons, shapeshifters, tricksters, or protective familiars, this program encourages playful and symbolic creativity. It's perfect for anyone who loves mythology, speculative fiction, or surreal illustration. No prior drawing experience needed, just curiosity and a sense of adventure.
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.
