2002)
Friday, Apr 25 2003 to Sunday, July 20, 2003
Art Gallery of Hamilton - 123 King St. W.
Irving Zucker had a love affair with art. Anyone who had the pleasure of
knowing Irving (he insisted everyone call him by his first name) knew
how deeply art inspired him, and with his passing Hamilton has lost one
of its most passionate collectors, a man who filled his home and his
discussions with art. Call (905) 527-6610 for more details.

Saturday, Apr 26 2003 to Sunday, July 20, 2003

The private collection of Toronto figurative artist Tom La Pierre is
inextricably linked to his own practice as a painter, and Journey into
Ecstasy delves into both facets of the artist's life. Developed over
decades and informed by the eye of a painter, the collection is a
coherent and substantial holding in its own right, as well as a rich
view into the psyche of La Pierre the artist. Call (905) 527-6610 for more details.

…and still I rise: A History of African Canadian Workers in Ontario from 1900 to Present
Sunday, Mar 16 2003 to Wednesday, December 31, 2003
Workers Arts & Heritage Centre
51 Stuart Street
This travelling exhibit traces the history of African Canadians from the 1900s to the present. It follows their history as escaped slaves and free Blacks who migrated to Canada during the American Revolution, War of 1812 and during the era of the Underground Railroad. Despite racism and other restrictions, Canadians of African descent set down roots, established communities, defended the country militarily, and agitated for inclusion in all aspects of society. African Canadians were an important part of the development of human rights codes, which are enjoyed by all Canadians today. LIUNA Station is of historical significance to former members of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, who fought to organize one of Canada first black trade unions – and we’re delighted to be launching this exhibit preview at this historic site.
