Hamilton Artists Inc-The Wardens-Heather Goodchild
The Wardens is a nondenominational organization started in the late nineteenth century by Anna Ward Brouse. Her early history is vague but it is believed that she was born in Berlin, Ontario (now Kitchener) in 1855. Anna travelled to Pennsylvania as a youth and at the age of twenty-three she was struck by visions depicting a society of outcasts in sixteenth century Germany. Moved by the beauty, strength and wisdom of these long dead people, Anna revealed their practices and beliefs to a growing society of her own.
On going to May4/12 is Two Tales of a City-Broken Lab Residency
The fabric banner installed along the side of HAI’s new building will feature a rotating series of call-and-response dualities over a six week period, while the oversized bunting will span 135 feet hung across the roofline and act as a timeline of collapsed and thriving industries, experiences, struggles, and victories of the city.

The Printstudio-Association of 7-Dawit L Petros
photographs of temporary installations that investigate permutational possibilities and the disjuncture between physical and abstract materiality. The works appropriate the framework of an east African alphabet script (Tigrinya, Petros’ first language) and cardboard boxes. Petros integrates performative strategies, sculpture, and installation with legacies of studio and landscape imagery. The arrangements were constructed in locations ranging from Santa Barbara, California; Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to Nazareth, Ethiopia.
Lee Lyttle-Landscapes and Selected Works
Lee Lyttle’s Landscapes and Selected Works is an exhibition of digital prints originating from images of paintings on canvas and reworked digitally to bring out and highlight some of their subtle elements. The images vary, from landscapes of the Red Hill Creek eco system in East Hamilton, to surreal images conveying notions of death, spiritual transformation and accepting mortality.
Carol Priamo-Architexturals
n this series, Carol Priamo uses her extensive practice in photography, collage and design combined with the raw materials of her own photographic images and digital programs to create tapestry-like compositions of intensified colour, pattern and texture. Her process is one of building a new ‘reality’ from the purposeful integration of altered, layered and blended photographs of architectural facades and streetscapes.

White elephant is not a gallery. Why it is listed as a gallery
they actually do have the occasional art show and besides the site is about james st and not strictly galleries. yes its subjective, sorry about that
OK then, I’m wondering about all the other places on James in the Art Crawl District that ARE NOT included, three off the top of my head: The Tribal Gallery, The Woodpecker Handicraft Gallery and Linda’s Fashion Studio. Is this site totally personal, rather than either subjective or objective??
I have added woodpecker’s site to the listings, I was unable to find the other stores sites.
Great, thanks for the quick response.
Sorry to say I misspelled Olinda’s Fashion Studio in my last posting, oops. You’re right, she doesn’t have a site yet.
Here’s a short URL link to a page I built for The Tribal Gallery: http://thurly.net//3ba
I also added a link to your site from my Art Crawl Page: http://www.HamiltonArtcrawl.ca
I’m putting together a complex links page for everyone on the Street with a web site: http://thurly.net//3gl
I’m also building pages for people on the street without any web presence. For example the page I’m putting up for Gwen Duncan at the Tribal Gallery: http://thurly.net//3ba
I’m hoping to get to others like Olinda in the near future.
John

I ended up going Friday, but didn’t go to half of the galleries that were open. I was contemplating to go to Sonic Uynion, but it looked closed up. GAH. Ah well, hopefully next month it’ll be just as good or better, and not as cold. This thing we call, Artcrawl is what I call love.
Do any of the galleries, or places open for the artcrawl allow photography at all? We have to promote this stuff!
Can’t wait until it gets warmer out, it’s going to rock… Same with the next Supercrawl. Oh man.
And I just realized this was a 2009 post.
I have a red Hat group that would be interested in doing this friday night crawl now that it is
2010 will this still be on going in april may june ?
Yes, every second friday of the month, so Feburary would be the next one!
How can someone get involved in showing at one of these Art Crawls?
Well I would first suggest coming to the next one, see how it is, meet some gallery owners,etc. You know from downtown Hamilton its a 45min bus ride in non-rush hour times.
A new listing for this upcoming crawl.
Not Without an Audience
Join us on May 14, 2010 for the opening of an exhibition of paintings and block prints by Cornelia Peckart at Hamilton’s premier rock and roll bar: This Ain’t Hollywood.
Not Without an Audience is an exhibition created for a live music venue. The spotlight is focused on the audience as they interact before, during and after a show.
An audience is vital for the success and survival of bars, bands and the musical style of rock and roll. Without an audience there is no show.
Cornelia Peckart has created an imaginary audience that fills the wall space with people having a good time.
Block prints, applied to wood, glass, paper and steel sheeting show audiences dancing and enjoying themselves. The images have a gestural quality with bold lines, which give the work a comic book feel.
Originally from Hamilton, Cornelia resettled in Hamilton in 2008 after twenty five years away. She attended the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto, with majors in Installation Art and Printmaking. She has lived, worked and exhibited in Toronto, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Rotterdam and Berlin.
Recent exhibitions and performances by Cornelia Peckart include; A series of ten gouache paintings titled ‘One in Ten’ as part of the September 2010 Good Medicine Show at *Hotshot Gallery on Toronto; A performance of ‘Treat System: Part One’ October 2010 at Nuit Blanche in Toronto; A performance of ‘Treat System: Part Two, A line is a line…’ at the November 2010 James St North Art Crawl in Hamilton.
The exhibition runs from May 7 – June 2, 2010.
For more information on Cornelia visit her blog at http://www.corneliapeckart.com.
Why is the publisher of this blog unknown and never revealed?
Why is there no way to contact this blog via email? Despite repeated statements here that all anyone has to do is ask. ASKING AGAIN!
Why can’t I get anything about my new James North Gallery listed on this blog?
Why can’t I get my gallery’s web site listed on this blog?
I know this is not a public service but you purport to report on the Arts Crawl but it seems you only report on what you like about the Arts Crawl.
