- James North Art Crawl Preview: April
Hamilton Artists Inc.: Elizabeth Chitty
Elizabeth Chitty, Guardian of Niagara: The Great Lakes
Chitty’s exhibition of ecologically conscious photographs and installation work has been on view since March 20 when I posted an announcement of her Artist Talk for the exhibition, but will be having its opening reception during the Art Crawl.

- James North Art Crawl: March
For reasons of chronology and convenience, Loose Canon has tended to round up the latter end of my monthly art crawl coverage - it’s just where I tend to go last, and that proved a good strategy as I got to save the best for last. I’ve already had opportunity to sing the praises of […]
- James North Art Crawl Preview: March
Having devoted a fair chunk of time in the last couple weeks to helping The Print Studio rally together something resembling a marketing campaign - one of the joys of serving on the Board of Directors - I’ve become increasingly conscious of something that seems rather obvious in retrospect: the need for advance notice surrounding […]
- James North Art Crawl: February
This blog entry owes something of a debt to the cold medication that’s been working to keep me relatively lucid through the better part of this week as well as the weekend’s ragged aftermath of having attended the Art Crawl in this condition. I probably would have given this month’s Crawl a pass, save for […]
- Friday Night Happenings
As much as it feels like a betrayal of The Cause, in all likelihood I will not be attending the James North Art Crawl tonight as I will be away in Toronto for the opening of Mis[place]d: Animals Lost and Found at XPACE. But only because I have work in that show, namely ‘The Plagues’ […]
- James North Art Crawl: November
The cold, miserable weather didn’t impact attendance on this month’s Art Crawl in the slightest, a fact that was both bracingly heart-warming and perhaps a touch obnoxious when I was trying to get a contextual shot of the Hamilton Artists Inc. Members Show - I actually have no idea who that guy in the baseball […]
- James North Art Crawl: October
Because I can be a bit of a plank at times, I ended up doing this month’s Art Crawl without the aid of my oft-maligned HP digital camera, and while it’s a piece of rubbish at least it takes pictures better than nothing. So, with nothing to hand, the images in this installment come courtesy […]
- James North Art Crawl: September
Some may have noticed the lack of Art Crawl coverage last month, owing as many things do to the fatigue of all things art in the month of August. This being September, however, things are back in full swing and fully listed at the James North Art Crawl’s website to boot - trust me, such […]
- James North Art Crawl: July
I now have to concede the point that art does in fact imitate life in its lazy lull through the summer months - a realization that I’ve been battling in my efforts to maintain a weekly habit of posting to this blog through the humidity, through the spiking social demands now that my non-art friends […]
- James North Art Crawl: June
When I set out in spite of spotty weather to take in this month’s Art Crawl, it was largely on account of the fact that the night featured the last of the New Harbours series of performances at Christ’s Church Cathedral. The sudden thunderstorm certainly made an extended stay in the Cathedral an attractive prospect, […]
