Art Gallery of Hamilton offering free admission until Labour Day

The Art Gallery of Hamilton is offering free admission for all visitors until Labour Day as part of its “Hamilton Strong” initiative.

The gallery said in a social media post Wednesday morning that the free admission during July and August was made possible by “the generosity of a private donor.”

“Hamilton Strong is about standing in solidarity with our fellow Hamiltonians, who have supported us throughout our 110+ years,” said Shelley Falconer, the president and CEO at the Art Gallery of Hamilton.

Exhibits currently available at the gallery include Helen McNicoll: An Impressionist Journey, Taking Root: Recent Acquisitions, and The Shape of Curiosity.

Visitors can see these exhibits along with the gallery’s permanent collection.

“Hamilton Strong is for everyone – those who are experiencing financial insecurity, those who are swept up in the anxieties of political instability, or those who simply need a safe haven from the
craziness of the world,” Falconer said.

Current members of the art gallery will automatically receive a two-month extension on their membership.

Anyone who had purchased a year-long AGH membership in July or August will get an extra two months at no additional charge.
