Hamilton is a culturally diverse city navigating the shifting dynamics of global change within a historically industrial economy.

In this context, the mandate of Hamilton Artists Inc. is to be an artist-run centre that acts as an incubator for contemporary visual aesthetics and ideas that reflect and respond to the situations and concerns of artists and the community. The centre exhibits all visual arts disciplines of emerging, mid-career and established artists. Hamilton Artists Inc. also facilitates critical dialogue surrounding issues in contemporary art.

Through exhibition, publication, performance and public events, the centre supports and reflects the diverse environment in which we live. We actively engage in community arts programming and educational initiatives that represent the breadth and depth of cultural life in our city.

This centre is dedicated to upholding professional standards for artists and pays CARFAC fees for all selected activities. As a member-driven organization, we provide an accessible and inclusive forum to address the social and professional needs of artists through workshops, lectures and our dedicated Members' Gallery. By situating our artists and audience within relevant regional, national and international discourses, we aim to promote and contribute to Hamilton's evolving cultural voice.
