Archive for April, 2010

Got our next three months of art confirmed for the shop. Pictured to the right is a sampling of work by our featured artist for April. Ahren Liudas Karnas has been coming into the shop now for a few years and we’ve always been intrigued by his mash-up of street art with design. We’ll be displaying his canvases, photos and clothing and Ahren has agreed to do a large art installation on the Cannon side of the building that will be unveiled on the night of the Art Crawl on April 9. The month of May sees the return of Gordon Leverton’s pastels to our walls. Gord’s amazing pastels of urban city scenes graced the walls of the old Mixed Media location a few times and always got a good reception. June sees The Portable Library Project makes its Hamilton debut. What is The Portable Library Project you ask? Well – it’s a 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. It’s currently touring cities around Canada and we are very happy to help bring this to Hamilton.

Just a quick message to let everyone know that we are closed Good Friday. Open on Saturday from 10am-5pm. Closed Sunday and back to regular hours on Monday. We are also working on setting up our spring and summer hours – I’ll have those up soon. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy the sun!
