Founded in 1914, the Art Gallery of Hamilton is Ontario’s third largest public art gallery and owns one of the finest collections of art in Canada, featuring over 9,000 works of art including historical European, historical Canadian and contemporary art.
The gallery engages in conservation by delivering exhibitions and programs that encourage access, education and displays a diverse representation of art and artists from the region. For kids and families there are so many fun ways to learn and play through art with lots of family-focused activities, events and programs throughout the year. They offer lives and hands-on kids camps during the school holidays to keep them occupied. There are also ongoing programs in the kids studio for ages 7 - 14 every Spring and Fall and lots of family friendly events and tours.
The biggest and popular event is their Summer picnic. Explore the art and culture through creative activities, pop-up art, talks, demonstrations and performances and lots more to enjoy. You'll also find school programs too that are designed to meet a variety of curricular goals, that can be tailored to your specific needs.
The AGH is located in the heart of downtown Hamilton, directly across the street from the Sheraton Hotel and Jackson Square Shopping Centre.
