About
James St North is located in the heart of downtown Hamilton, comprised of the Italian, Portuguese and Vietnamese communities. And most recently a burgeoning arts community! Every Second Friday of the month there is a ArtCrawl, all the galleries of the area have their new art openings on the same night.
Here’s a great video done by local cable 14

My name is Adam Belovari and I am a fourth year Honours Art History student at McMaster University. As a student representative for both the Faculty of Humanities and the School of the Arts on behalf of the art history students I want to voice my concern with the university and the Humanities decision to phase out the McMaster University Art History Program over the next three years. As of February 1st 2010, the Dean has proposed a potential phasing out of the Honours and Joint Honours BA Art History options over a 2-3 year period. Once this decision is approved by her committee, it will go on to the Faculty of Humanities, the Undergraduate Planning Committee and the Senate. The decision to phase out the McMaster Art History Program could be finalized in the next few weeks.
The McMaster Museum of Art is an excellent resource for students and we are fortunate to be one of the few universities in Ontario to have an on-campus museum and affiliated Studio Art Program. There is also easy access to the Art Gallery of Hamilton and various commercial galleries on James Street North, which enable students to gain practical museum/gallery experience. The decision to phase out Honours and Joint Honours Art History is not a logical one given these circumstances.
To compromise, McMaster is willing to spare the minor in Art History option. However, this DOES NOT satisfy the requirements of many professional and graduate school programs for art, art history and design disciplines. McMaster University is depriving its Art History undergraduate students from being exposed to a full range of topics within the history of art! The students are very unhappy about this decision and the University does not sympathize with them and feels that they are making the best decision. The students are very unhappy about this decision and the University does not sympathize with them and feels that they are making the best possible decision in a period of financial hardship for the humanities.
We need your help…
A: You can l find more info on our facebook group:
“Stop phasing out the McMaster Art History Program!”
B: There is also an online petition to sign, “Stop the phasing out of
the McMaster University Art History Program”
http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/macarthistory/
C: Anyone who wants to voice their disappointment in detail should send a letter via email to President George and copy it to the Provost, the Dean of Humanities and the Director of the School of the Arts. The contact information is:
presdnt@mcmaster.ca
provost@mcmaster.ca
deanhum@mcmaster.ca
kinderk@mcmaster.ca
Be very clear that it is not just a matter of keeping the program open but adding more resources to the program by hiring more faculty is what would be necessary to keep it going as a viable program.

You’ve said that if anyone wants to contribute, they just need to let you know. I’ve done that. I would like to contribute. Problem is you only talk the talk, providing no way to walk the walk.
How do we SEND to YOU other than posting here and never hearing anything back?
Hi Paul, just wondering if you could give a ‘plug’ for my upcoming exhibit at the Burlington Art Centre …
‘MEMORY’S SHADOW: Pinhole & Photo Collage Photography’ by yours truly will run from July 15th to August 19th in the Perry Gallery. All welcome. (Free admission!) Link on my photo-blog site for more info – http://canadadaPHOTOGRAPHY.blogspot.com
Juxtaposing pinhole with photo collage photography I hope to provoke viewers to zing INwards to their own personal head-space where ‘images’ first began to form … Lotsa fun. Give it a gander.
Btw, was that THE Burton Kramer commenting above? If so, for those who don’t know, he was/is one of the foremost graphic illustrators this country’s got – best known for his ‘logo’ inventions for the CBC and CN rails … Here’s his website, just in case you’re curious – http://www.kramer-design.com/
