- The Big Picture Revisited Part Two: Sustainability of Arts Organizations
Continuing from yesterday’s report on The Big Picture Revisited with a focus on Support for Individual Artists, today’s post will cover the forum’s discussion surrounding Sustainability of Arts Organizations.
In his introductory remarks on the topic, Ivan Jurakic cited an exceptional quality in the James North landscape that has intrigued me for some time now […]
- Le Cyc at Workers Arts and Heritage Centre
Between last night’s James North Art Crawl and today’s The Big Picture Revisited forum, there’s a lot of weekend content to be digested, enough that I hesitate to comment on any of it here with any degree of authority. It’s a good weekend to be critical, and I suspect that I have a few bones […]
- James North Supercrawl: October
I went out into the rainy night of Supercrawl with a resolution in mind: already grouchy over the shit weather and exhausted by preparations for next weekend’s Hands-On Hamilton Art Party for the Print Studio, I decided to simply enjoy the music and the mood as the lay pedestrian I am where such matters are […]
- James North Supercrawl Preview: October
There’s really only one thing you need to know about this month’s art crawl: Supercrawl.
With a wider spirit of street-level collaboration, some truly slick posters and a livelier mix of media, this month’s Crawl promises one hell of a street party with plenty of hardcore-outdoor action - so much outdoor action, in fact, that […]
- James North Art Crawl: September
No matter one’s ties to any sort of educational context, September continues to hold something in the way of new beginnings, especially after the cyclical languor of August. In that spirit, this month’s Art Crawl offered a portend of change to come with a one-night open house of the former Hotel Hamilton, currently being renovated […]
- James North Art Crawl: August
This month’s Art Crawl followed something of a bizarro-world format - not just because I actually managed to make it out for the August crawl this year, but because a variation in plans caused my standard gallery tour to flow in reverse. My traveling companion’s girlfriend happens to be the cousin of Bryce Huffman, so […]
- James North Art Crawl Preview: August
Hamilton Artist’s Inc: While the gallery is technically closed for the month of August (as is The Print Studio, so you’ll have to go to Wild Orchid for your sangria), their doors will be open during Art Crawl for WABAM!, a presentation of the Hamilton Youth Arts Network in collaboration with the Inc. The group […]
- James North Art Crawl: July
For the second month running, I’ve got another paid-writing deadline conflicting with my (unpaid, obviously) Art Crawl ritual, which accounts for this repeated lateness. It also probably explains the HTML markup that keeps sneaking into the in-progress Word document of my review for Sarah Anne Johnson’s House on Fire - maybe this multi-tasking rubbish isn’t […]
- James North Art Crawl Preview: July
Hamilton Artists Inc: Niki Boghossian, Matthew Dayler and Andrew McPhail, suckerpunch
Although this exhibition is a carry-over from last month’s Art Crawl, this is one of those shows that makes for enjoyable repeat viewing. I won’t be reviewing this for a third time, so to refresh your memories, my thoughts on the work are here and […]
- James North Art Crawl: June
This month’s report of the James North Art Crawl is a little more truncated and a lot more late than usual (a shame given the scarcity of blogging around here lately in the first place… I know, my bad) on account of the post-Crawl exhaustion of helping out with two separate fundraising efforts that night […]
