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 4 months and a $1,200 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.

Because Hip Hop Matters
by Brody
“You use a post-it note to remember something of importance. To me, the Hamilton Hip-Hop scene is something of importance. The scene that’s been set in my adaption of the Anne Foster Windows is of an artist’s workspace. Well... it’s under the post-it notes but it’s there. I think the behind the scene aspect of good art or a good end product is what a lot of people overlook.”
