The Government of Canada today announced $950,000 in funding for the Art Gallery of Hamilton (AGH) from the Department of Canadian Heritage Cultural Spaces Fund.
Member of Parliament Lisa Hepfner (Hamilton Mountain) Chair of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage made the announcement and was joined by her colleagues Aslam Rana (Hamilton Centre) and John-Paul Danko (Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas). Mayor Andrea Horwath joined Federal representatives for the announcement.
“This funding launches the first phase of a major expansion for the AGH, focusing on the procurement of an architectural firm that will generate schematic drawings. Our plans will include a new main entrance on Main Street, as well as the creation of a new gallery dedicated to capturing Hamilton’s important history as one of Canada’s leading industrial centres,” said gallery President and CEO Shelley Falconer.
