- 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 […]

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 […]
- James North Art Crawl: May
This month’s Art Crawl got off to an earlier-than-usual start on account of my involvement in The Print Studio’s newly launched membership campaign, complete with last minute task-wrangling and free crantinis, the latter of which provided a temporary respite from the surprisingly humid weather. Not-raining was a lovely surprise, but it made sweaty work of […]

The Print Studio: Yoshiko Shimada, Bones in Tansu: Family Secrets
The second exhibition in The Print Studio’s On Surface series features artist-in-residence Yoshiko Shimada visiting from Japan with her on-going project archiving and displaying anonymously gathered secrets in locally sourced dresser drawers, with space provided for visitors to contribute their own secrets to future installations.
Hamilton Artist’s […]
- James North Art Crawl: April
While I had heard speculation through the week over whether Good Friday would impact attendance, this month’s Art Crawl still saw a healthy turn-out in the street and galleries, and just as well given that the range of exhibitions on offer was of a higher standard than I have seen in several months.
Elizabeth Chitty’s installation, […]
