About the Awards

The City of Hamilton Arts Awards is one of the oldest programs of its kind in Canada and has been at the forefront of recognizing creative talent since 1976.

Each year, citizens nominate artists for consideration by independent juries of arts professionals who choose notable artists and arts community leaders to honour for their excellence and contributions to Hamilton.

The purpose of the program is to:

• celebrate and build awareness of the incredible contribution that artists make to Hamilton
• foster growth in the arts sector
• develop the talent that drives this vital part of our city
