Explore pattern-based art.
This art program explores the beauty and structure of pattern and repetition in visual art. Experiment with repeated shapes, lines and motifs to create decorative, abstract, or symbolic artwork.
Accessible and soothing, this activity is ideal for those who enjoy focused, meditative projects or want to explore visual balance and order.
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.
