HISTORY AND HERITAGE-Luna Martinez-Virtual History
Oscar Luna Martinez is originally from Mexico City. He grew up in Montreal and now lives in Hamilton. He is a trained graphic artist with a keen interest in architectural illustration. Oscar is another example of the content for HIStory + HERitage’s exhibitions walking through the front door. Oscar showed me his illustrations of the Lister Block and that led to a discussion of a broader exhibition which includes Oscar’s fully rendered 3D illustrations of the Lister Block, the Pigott building, and an amazing re-creation of Hamilton’s old city hall that was located on James Street North that was demolished in 1962.

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.

hey — your date is wrong. it’s Friday August 10th, not the 11th. Hope to make it out tonight with my 2 young artists (ages 8 & 10). peace.
Hansen & Lubbers is great design store that opened on James North between Cannon and Wilson back in March. Owners are huge supporters of different artists in the area. They allow an artist for one month use their walls to showcase their works. Great range of newbies and well establish artists. Galleries and studios are great to show art but to see it in a softer setting with great colours behind and around the art, gives buyers and art lovers a different spin on it.
for this upcoming December art crawl:
Storytelling Through Photographs: a gallery event in solidarity with refugee health
Hamiltonians for Migrant and Refugee Health presents Storytelling Through Photographs, an Art Crawl event that will tell stories of refugees seeking healthcare in Canada, explore the barriers to health for newcomers, and examine the activist movement that has been born out of the struggle for equitable healthcare.
Date: Friday, December 14 from 7-11pm (drop-in)
Venue: Christ’s Church Cathedral, 252 James N, Hamilton, ON Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/173169116159000/
Our website: http://hamilton-health.wix.com/migranthealth
Contact info: migranthealthhamilton@gmail.com
BACKGROUND: On June 30th, the federal government implemented a series of cuts to refugee healthcare that have left many newcomers without access to basic care. An unprecedented mobilization of the healthcare sector and community members subsequently took place in opposition to the cuts. Non-cooperation events, rallies, and sit-ins have been organized in Hamilton and across the country that have inspired many to speak out against the cuts. At refugee clinics in major cities, healthcare workers have been donating their time and energy to provide free care to new migrants, but with ongoing cuts, and the number of uninsured people in Canada growing, these clinics can no longer keep up with overhead costs. On December 15th, Jason Kenney and the Harper government will have the power to create a Designated Country of Origin list, or so-called “safe-country” list. This list will be used to discriminate against refugees based on their country of origin and fast-track deportations for individuals from so-called “safe” countries. Additionally, refugees from “safe-countries” will now only receive healthcare coverage if their condition is deemed a threat to public health or public safety. This is a call for ON-GOING mobilization of community members, allies and healthcare providers in rejecting the cuts.
Hamiltonians for Migrant and Refugee Health is a group of Hamiltonians who believe that health care is for EVERYONE in our communities. Representatives from Refuge, Hamilton’s free refugee clinic, will also be at the event.
Event: PWYC. Proceeds to support Refuge clinic. The display will include photographs, newspaper clippings, and stories to illustrate the struggle for refugee health in Canada. We will also be participating in the Cards for Kenney campaign which urges visitors to send seasonal cards to Jason Kenney with their “wish list” for reversing cuts to refugee health (Check out the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB0ftSonTJ4 ). This is a family-friendly event.
