Explore the uncanny side of self-reflection.
This drop-n art session invites participants to investigate duality, distortion and identity through eerie, symbolic and surreal visual expression.
From horror literature and folklore to modern media, mirrors and reflections often represent the parts of ourselves we don’t fully know, or fear to face. This program provides a low-pressure, highly creative space to explore the duality of self, inner fears and personal symbolism through haunting and expressive artwork.
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.
