Sanford Hall Gallery at Westinghouse HQ invites you to submit to Cultural Fabric—a dynamic art exhibition that weaves together the diverse threads that shape Hamilton’s identity. Through visual art, mixed media, and installation, local artists reflect on the people, places, histories, and stories that define the city’s ever-evolving cultural landscape. From its industrial roots and immigrant communities to its vibrant arts scene and growing spirit of renewal, this show celebrates Hamilton as a living tapestry—layered, textured, and deeply interconnected.
Join us in honouring the voices and visions that make Hamilton unique.
