Explore expressive, movement-based drawing.
Line and gesture drawing is a loose and expressive form of sketching that captures movement, energy and flow. Rather than aiming for detailed, polished drawings, participants learn how to draw freely and intuitively using simple lines and shapes.
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.
