The Hamilton Arts Awards are back!
After two years of celebrating our remarkable arts community exclusively online, the City of Hamilton is excited to be offering a dynamic in-person experience on Thursday June 9, 7 to 9 pm as part Hamilton Arts Week 2022.
To encourage the community to fall back in love with our city’s arts spaces, we’re hosting events at three venues and online simultaneously across Hamilton, each with their own unique flair. Each venue will offer up distinctive programming while celebrating the 2022 Arts Awards Award Recipients and short listed nominations .
All event venues are free to attend - No tickets required
Playhouse Cinema - I heard it Through the Grapevines!
Grab a complementary popcorn and soft drink while you enjoy a program of shorts curated by the Hamilton Film Festival in this stunningly restored theatre. Then explore the Playhouse’s newest space next door (opened for the first time!) in the grapevine covered patio of the former Italo Club of Hamilton. The patio will be filled with the accordion-drenched sounds of The Acoustics, free slices of pizza, and a cash bar. Featuring a video and dance performance by 2021 Shirley Elford Emerging Artist Commission Prize Recipient Dylan Vandemaele.
