Mixed Media is Hamilton's only independent art shop. Having only been open since October 2005, this locally owned and independent store is already creating a stir in the local arts community. Specializing in art and printmaking supplies, specialty paper and stationery products. Mixed Media also features locally made gift items, greeting cards, books and magazines and a pretty cool art gallery. We strive to do things differently and creatively and hope to inspire a few bystanders along the way.

James North Art Crawl

Galleries and a little grit around the edges define the vibrant James Street North arts district. For the James North Art Crawl, a festive event on the second friday night of every month, galleries keep their doors open until around 11 p.m., so visitors can explore and chat. Here, you’ll find a stimulating range of exhibits in a variety of settings, including a former tailor's shop (Hamilton Artists Inc.) and The Print Studio, which draws working artists from around the world. Check out Mixed Media, an art-supply store and incubator for many of the area's bright ideas.

In the gallery this month: The Portable Library Project

The Portable Library Project is a multi-dimensional mail-art/book-making project involving the creation of small works exploring ideas surrounding archiving, journaling, libraries, ephemera, and incorporating an art practice into everyday life. The 18 participating artists span several artistic disciplines, from performance art to fibre-based art; from photo-based art to craft to sculpture and installation. See The Portable Library Project in our gallery space from June 11 - July 3.
