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.
Opening Reception for Dave Gould’s Anne Foster Windows Display
The City of Hamilton invites the public to attend the opening reception for the newest Anne Foster Windows display on Friday June 14, 2019 from 6 to 9 pm at the Tourism Hamilton Visitor Centre, 28 James Street North
Created by local visual and audio artist/musician Dave Gould, the window display features instruments made by the artist from the “bone section” of his Audiotorium Orchestra. Using found and repurposed items such as whalebones, antlers and toilets, Gould takes a D.I.Y. approach when creating instruments and finding sounds.
The opening reception will include performances by Gould on his one of a kind musical instruments at 6:30 and 8:30 pm. The reception takes place during the monthly James Street North Art Crawl however the display can be viewed until August 26, 2019.
More information about Dave Gould's performance schedule and videos with audio are available at www.davegould.ca.
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.
