Hey guys - Just a head's up that there is going to be some awesome Hamilton-related art going up this Friday on James North.

Amy Kenny paints a lot of architectural details as well as local Hamilton (and other canadian) musician portraits. Here are some examples of architecture:

And a couple musicians which you might or might not recognize:

Anyway, the opening is on Friday evening, 7-10pm at Mixed Media (this is to coincide with the James North Art Crawl). Address is 174 James North.

There will be small prints available too, and local musicial Aaron Goldstein will be playing a few tunes to mark the occasion (there will be a painting of him too). Soe of his music is available here: http://www.myspace.com/espanolamusic

I have heard there will also be free Mexican themed hors d'oeuvres :cheers:

If you've never been to an art crawl, this is a good chance to see some sweet local art and check out the street. We (and a group of friends) usually head down for dinner at Mex-I-Can or Pepperjacks and then hit the crawl up, wander up and down the street for an hour and then head to the Judge for a Pint.

Hopefully We'll see some of you there :D

Wicked. I love the art crawl. Is anyone going to the art crawl??? I am bringing people from Toronto.

Mixed Media is moving next month (staying on James north but changing storefronts) so this will be the last crawl in their original space. It should be a really good one this week so if you have never been, this might be a good time to try it out!

FLAR - I think you should get some prints of your photos blown up and put on display during a crawl - it would be an awesome show!

Hey guys - reminder this is tonight!

Also this is the last art crawl with Mixed Media in its current location - they are moving next month so this is kind of the end of an era. Should be a great night - lots going on and the weather seems to be promising.

I'll be out and about with an "I bike hamilton"" shirt on - say hi if ya see me!
