Anne Foster Windows
In celebration of Hamilton’s music scene, local artists have been invited to design music-themed displays for the Anne Foster Windows. The Anne Foster Windows are located in the historic Lister Building, 28 James Street North, in the same storefront where the Anne Foster Music shop operated from 1942 to 1995.
Call For Artists
The City of Hamilton invites Hamilton artists to propose installations for the Anne Foster Windows Program that celebrate Hamilton's music scene. Each window installation will be displayed for approximately 3 months and a $1,000 honorarium is paid to the selected artist. Interested artists are encouraged to contact staff if they would like to propose a window display. The City of Hamilton’s Tourism and Culture Division coordinates this pilot program as part of their ongoing support of Hamilton’s creative industries.

The Faces Behind The Music
by Stephanie Montani
“This collection of images is a celebration of the past year and a half of my life since turning my career around. These photographs capture the shows that confirmed my decision [to be a photographer] was right and made me fall so in love with what I do. In addition, I wanted to celebrate not just the artists I’ve seen through my lens, but the many faces we all see that don’t get on stage. I wanted to showcase the people who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the scene here in Hamilton thrive, and who make it not just an industry, but a family.”
