Poster Contest

Climate Change Poster Reception
Friday April 13, 2012
Central Library, Hamilton Room
55 York Boulevard
7pm-9pm

Start your art crawl at the library!  Join Green Venture and Clean Air Hamilton at Central Library’s art crawl debut.

Come see the entries for the Fighting Climate Change poster contest!  High school students across Hamilton were asked to create a poster showing actions that people can take to fight climate change.  See their ideas in fruition in this great collection of posters that use a variety of media and techniques.  Learn about climate change from our guest speakers, enjoy some beverages, and celebrate the artistic talent of high school students in our city.

Event starts at 7pm, speakers at 7:30.  Refreshments will be provided.

Browse through the posters and enjoy the other displays and art performances going on at the library.  There will be a performance by the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra’s brass quintet at 8pm, poetry readings, an exhibit from the Child Abuse Council featuring youth immigrant and refugee artists, and more.  Red Hill Coffee Trade will be on site selling coffee, and Gorilla Cheese and the Cupcake Diner will be will outside the library doors selling snacks.  

Continue your night by visiting other stops on the James St. N Art Crawl, a monthly event where galleries and shops on James St. N are open late and have art show openings.
