Publications

Hamilton Artists Inc. publishes short, commissioned texts alongside our programs.

We produce 5-6 exhibitions annually, each accompanied by a relevant and engaging text in the form of essays, creative non-fiction or short, narrative works. Click on the links below to access the publication.

Past publications are slowly being added to this page. If you would like to find a publication by exhibition instead of the writer’s name, they are also posted under our exhibition pages.
