ART GALLERY OF HAMILTON REVIEWS
What a beautiful experience! There's so much to see at this place your first visit can solely be focused on the permanent exhibit which will take over an hour to go through the additional exhibits have a fee and a well worth it! You can do the additional exhibits on later visits if you want to pace yourself and enjoy each piece. The sculpture section in the permanent exhibit is so cool! Children are friendly and super clean so wear your masks!
Loved this place, and I was delighted to see live art after so long the Covid19 restrictions period. The entrance was free that day, so we could visit the entire gallery for free. I especially liked the Catherine Dong exhibit. The staff at the reception was extremely friendly and welcoming. The gift store is also a must to visit. I would go back anytime and highly recommend it.
We went to see the Maude Lewis exhibit. It was a well-rounded display of her life and work. There were also several other very nice exhibits of art and of course the ever-evolving Volkswagon van with a myriad of figures and dioramas. Always worth a visit to see.

MCMASTER MUSEUM OF ART REVIEWS
The McMaster Museum of Art is a small gym in the city. Located on the beautiful McMaster University campus, it offers a variety of artifacts from classic to modern art. My favourite this year is the Canoe.
Very beautiful place They have very high security for the painting from the back 19s and 20 centuries so no one can steal them also I met a lot of staff members they were so kind helpful and awesome I like it ( God bless ) and keep it up.
Excellent free museum on McMaster's campus. Their seasonal exhibitions offer different perspectives and types of art on a regular basis. The permanent collection gallery on the second exhibition level offers world-renowned art and is definitely worth a visit.

HAMILTON ARTISTS INC. REVIEWS
I'm really excited as I'm trying to establish myself as an artist. Really happy to have this opportunity. Cheers.
Highlight of James Street North art scene. Cool place, I have enjoyed my time here. Definitely worth a visit.
Always fun to pop in for art crawl. The gallery is always getting new art installations, and every show is very different from the last.
