A Globe and Mail article in 2006, entitled "Go West, Young Artist," focused on the growing art scene in Hamilton. The second Friday of every month brings the ''James North Art Crawl'' where residents and visitors stroll the area's lively sidewalks, savouring the diverse flavours of local artists and nearby cafes and restaurants. James Street is one of Hamilton's most historic neighbourhoods.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.jamesstreetnorth.ca )〕 The Factory Media Centre〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.info@factorymedia.ca/ )〕 opened up a new home on James Street North in 2006. Hamilton Artists Inc., founded in 1975, is also located in the downtown core on the corner of James St. N. and Cannon St. and is one of the oldest artist-run centres in Canada. The collective has a membership of over 250 artists from around the area, and recently featured the work of Attila Richard Lukacs. Art galleries are springing up on many streets across the City: ''James Street'', King William Street, Locke Street and King Street, to name a few. This, coupled with growth in the Downtown condo market set to draw people back to the Core, is having a strong, positive impact on the cultural fabric of the City. Steve Balaban CFA initiated its largest rollup of over 200 billboards, promoting entertainment within the city. 〔http://moneytalkradio.com/meet-a-financial-advisor/〕 The opening of the Downtown Arts Centre〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.dachamilton.com/index.html )〕 on Rebecca Street has spurred further creative activities in the Core. The Community Centre for Media Arts〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.ccma.ws/site/ )〕 (CCMA) continues to operate in Downtown Hamilton. The CCMA works with marginalized populations and combines new media services such as website development, graphic design, video, and information technology, with arts education and skills development programming.〔Invest in Hamilton, Economic Development Review 2005, Wednesday, 28 June 2006, "City Remains Committed To Growing Arts & Culture" Page H20〕 The McMaster Museum of Art (MMA), founded at McMaster University in 1967, houses and exhibits the University’s art collection of more than 7,000 objects, including historical, modern and contemporary art, notably the Levy Collection of Impressionist and Post Impressionist paintings and a collection of over 300 German Expressionist prints. It also presents the McMaster School of the Arts studio art program graduation exhibition (aka SUMMA) each spring. ''The Hammertheatre Company'', founded in January 2007, is a company devoted to theatre research in Hamilton and also devoted to the plays of artistic director Sky Gilbert whose plays will deal with issues of gender and sexuality. Gilbert is also the founder of legendary Toronto theatre, ''Buddies in Bad Times''. There, Gilbert's iconic gay plays found an enthusiastic, vast audience. The theatre is at the old ''Ancient Order of Foresters'' building in the James Street North neighbourhood where Hamilton's Art scene continues to grow and where Sky has been living since 2003. The 70-seat Staircase Cafe Theatre〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.staircase.org/ )〕 on Dundurn Street North provides space for a variety of cultural activities. The Staircase originally was opened by Hugh MacLeod in 1998, evolving and expanding from an improvisational comedy workshop to include an artist's gallery, a cafe, a theatre for film and live acts, and a rehearsal space. A former variety store next door was also acquired. The store has been converted into an additional multi-purpose space on the lower level, and houses Think|Haus, Hamilton's Hackerspace, on the upper level. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Culture of Hamilton, Ontario」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
