Create art that reflects real places, memories, or imaginary worlds.
Design maps of meaningful places, personal journeys, or invented lands using drawing, collage, or simple mixed media to express a sense of place, memory, or identity. Maps might reflect a neighborhood, a walk to school, a dream destination, or an emotional landscape. All skill levels welcome.
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.
