Renewed focus on the Collection and Related Programs Our exhibition and programming offerings in 2017 were robust indeed, and we were particularly proud of our efforts introducing our visitors to talented Indigenous artists through such exhibitions as Expanding the Circle: Robert Davidson and the Ancient Language of Haida Art; Kenojuak Ashevak & Tim Pitsiulak: Drawing Life; Barry Pottle: The Awareness Series; Carving Home: The Chedoke Collection of Inuit Art; and Shelley Niro:1779, with the Pottle, Niro, and Chedoke exhibitions all prominently featuring works from our Permanent Collection. Other exhibitions showcasing works from our Collection included Collection Classics; Evolution of Form: 150 Years of Sculpture from the Collection; Staging Abstraction: Paintings from the Collection; Nature and Man Revealed: The Mr. and Mrs. H.J.M. Watson Collection of British Drawings; The Living Room: Subject. Object. Verb.; and Behind the Scene: The 19th-Century Studio Reimagined. Regional artists were celebrated in such exhibitions as Abedar Kamgari: The Journey West; Joseph Hartman: The Artist’s Studio; The Living Room: Self Made: Stylo Starr’s 89 Dames; Sara Angelucci: Piece Work; and The Shifting City. Saga of a City: Hamilton at 200 Years helped us celebrate our city’s bicentennial. In 2017, 43 new aquisitions were added to the Collection including works by important artists such as: Carl Schaefer, Laura Muntz, Dorian Fitzgerald, and 12 Inuit sculptures from the personal collection of Jules Lebow covering a full spectrum of historical, Inuit and contemporary art. 2. Community Engagement We held our first Town Hall in May, inviting the community to share their thoughts about the AGH; we are grateful to those who took the time to attend and have since enacted some of the suggestions presented. Working closely with community partners allowed us to present exhibitions such as OUT THERE: Hamilton’s Public Art Process; I Have A Right… J’ai un droit…; Central Ontario Art Association 2017 Annual Juried Exhibition: Artistic Meanderings; and Women’s Art Association of Hamilton 121st Annual Juried Exhibition. Thanks to multi-year funding from the federal government’s Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, we were able to complete projects that improved visitor experience and accessibility, including improvements to all family washrooms; wireless and hearing assist capabilities added to the building’s public address systems; and others. Throughout this Annual Report, we invite you to take note of our visitor feedback collected during 2017. 4 3. Learning through Art Hand-in-hand with the Gallery’s commitment to a renewed focus on the Collection and engaging the community, the Gallery’s programming and education activities grew in number and variety. New initiatives included partnerships with Hamilton Wentworth District School Board alternative education programs; a new iteration of Artful Moments for persons with dementia living at home and their caregivers; day-time film screenings at the Lincoln Alexander Centre; and a return of Photophobia. Teachers drove an increase in extended workshops and special programs, highlighting a demand for deeper interaction with the Gallery during school visits. Many adult talks and workshops were at capacity, as were most summer and PA day camps. 4. Long-Term Sustainability Canada Cultural Spaces Fund allowed the Gallery to improve key environmental systems, reducing the facility operational costs while continuing to safeguard the Permanent Collection and ensure the comfort of staff and visitors. The Gallery’s new website was launched on July 1, moving the AGH toward more cost-effective and robust digital communications. Working closely with our government, foundation, corporate, Member and individual partners, the Gallery continued to investigate strategies to stabilize its funding and ensure its long-term economic impact on Hamilton and the region. According to the TREIM Model, the AGH has contributed $17 Million to the local economy and $23.4 million to the wider province in terms of economic impact. Implementing these priorities requires an ongoing commitment from our dedicated staff, board members, governors, volunteers and partners. We are grateful to our 2017 sponsors: the City of Hamilton, the Ontario Arts Council, the Canada Council for the Arts, ArcelorMittal Dofasco, BMO, Incite Foundation for the Arts, Orlick Industries, RBC, Joey & Toby Tanenbaum, and TD Bank Group. The Art Gallery of Hamilton is at its strongest when we work together and dream together. Thank you for being part of our family as we celebrate over a century of bringing art and community together.

For generations, this Indigenous culture has produced some of the world’s most visually stunning and intellectually complex forms of art. On their lush island home off the Northwest Coast, the Haida fashioned a world of outstanding artistic expression, one that sustained them through near annihilation in the late 19th century. This exhibition presented over 70 works that explore themes fundamental to Haida life and culture including potlatch ceremonies, performance, the power of transformation, and ceremonial art. Photo: Mike Lalich “I love this Gallery! I didnt realize that you had some famous paintings by artists like James Tissot and Antoine Vollon.” - Ann from Thorold 7 Sara Angelucci: Piece Work 11 February – 14 May 2017 Born in Hamilton to Italian immigrant parents, Sara Angelucci is well known for autobiographical work in a range of media including still photography, moving image, sonic performance and installation. For the exhibition Piece Work, Angelucci revisits her mother’s history as a garment worker to produce a new installation in three parts, in collaboration with contemporary workers at Hamilton’s Coppley Apparel. Coppley has operated continuously in the same white stone building on York Boulevard since 1883 and has employed every wave of new immigrants to the city, including Angelucci’s late mother Nina, who arrived in Hamilton in 1957. In Piece Work, the factory represents more than a long-standing local business or the artist’s familial history. It is a capsule of the city’s social history, and the diverse communities that together contribute to the fabric of our industrial roots. Through this exhibition, Angelucci presents a series of poignant new artworks that bring our attention back to the experience of the worker - in visual, auditory, and symbolic ways.

  • Contemporary Inuit Drawing
    Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Contemporary Inuit Drawing Nancy Campbell A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY, YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO. January 2017 © Nancy Campbell, 2017 Abstract The importance of the artist’s voice in art historical scholarship is essential as we emerge from post-colonial and feminist cultural theory and its impact on curation, art history, and visual culture. Inuit art has moved from its origins as an art representing an imaginary Canadian identity and a yearning for a romantic pristine North to a practice that presents Inuit identity in their new reality. This socially conscious contemporary work that touches on the environment, religion, pop culture, and alcoholism proves that Inuit artists can respond and are responding to the changing realities in the North. On the other side of the coin, the categories that have held Inuit art to its origins must be reconsidered and integrated into the categories of contemporary art, Indigenous or otherwise, in museums that consider work produced in the past twenty years to be contemporary as such. Holding Inuit artists to a not-so-distant past is limiting for the artists producing art today and locks them in a history that may or may not affect their work directly. This dissertation examines this critical shift in contemporary Inuit art, specifically drawing, over the past twenty years, known as the contemporary period. The second chapter is a review of the community of Kinngait and the role of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative in the dissemination of arts and crafts.

    Visionary Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak dies at 85 - The Globe and Mail 1/24/13 5:42 PM INUIT ART Visionary Inuit artist Kenojuak Ashevak dies at 85 SANDRA MARTIN The Globe and Mail Published Tuesday, Jan. 08 2013, 11:07 AM EST Last updated Tuesday, Jan. 08 2013, 9:05 PM EST The Inuit had been communing with the natural and spiritual world for thousands of years by drawing and carving images. They had no concept that they were making art, however, until southerners, such as the artist and dealer James Houston, travelled to the North in the late 1940s and recognized the beauty of the objects they were making. In the past 60 years, the world has come to recognize and revere Inuit art and artists, none more so than Kenojuak Ashevak, the premier artist and guiding visionary who died Tuesday of lung cancer at her home in Cape Dorset. “She was the star of the Dorset artists but she was also a national icon transcending Inuit art,” said her long-time dealer and friend, Pat Feheley, of Feheley Fine Arts. Ms. Ashevak’s art was “the backbone” of the annual collection of prints from Cape Dorset, Ms. Feheley said, noting her work appeared in most releases stretching from 1959 until 2012. “Everybody knows the image of the The Enchanted Owl and everybody knows her name,” but “what mattered to her most was to make the picture beautiful,” Ms. Feheley said. “It was all a desire to create what was in her head, but to do it in a beautiful way.” Ms.
