Announcement

Centre [3] will be closed Monday, September 2nd. This closure will not affect Open Studio

  • Keep safe ✨ . . . Text in image: Dear community members Our team at Centre[3] is committed to the health and safety of our members, staff and community and therefore have decided to close the centre to support efforts being made to contain the spread of COVID-19. All courses and workshops will be cancelled including all of our community arts programs. This will start Monday March 16 through to April 6th. Members will not have access to the centre during this time. If you require access to the building to retrieve items, or if you have any questions about the closure, please contact Julie Shea at operations@centre3.com. We will continue to monitor how best to protect our community, taking guidance from the response and information provided by Hamilton Public Health Services, Ontario’s Ministry of Health and the Public Health Agency of Canada and we will keep members and the public aware of Centre3’s reopening which will hopefully happen soon. Our thoughts are with you all at this time and hopefully if we work together we can all get through this safely. Keep well. Centre[3] Team
  • Amidst recent news regarding Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) and following steps provided by Health Canada, Centre [3] has made the difficult decision to postpone the opening receptions of Gabriel Baribeau, Ron Siu and mashal khan. Centre [3] will be closed at 6 PM this evening, and will not re-open for Art Crawl . . . We are sympathetic to the importance of an opening reception to emerging artists in our community, and we thank Gabriel, Ron and mashal for their understanding. A new date for the reception of both shows will be released when possible, thank you for your patience 🌷 . . . Work pictured: in conversation one, by mashal khan
  • We are excited to present the work of Gabriel Baribeau this Friday during the opening reception of Bystander - in our Members’ Gallery✨ . . . A scene is unfolding. One which is discomforting. One which is confusing. It is very much in motion, and stopping it feels impossible. Are we spectators? Or are we actors, participating through our gaze? No one seems to be choosing. Agency is ruined, and everyone has become the Bystander . . . Gabriel Baribeau is a Hamilton based artist. His practice focuses on sculpture, and oil painting. His work emphasizes painting’s capacity for contemporary visual poetry and storytelling. He works with themes of environmental precarity, the consumer as a global role, and art as a proponent of social change and community building . . . #openingreception #artcrawl #painting #joinus
  • We are excited to present the hard work of @rsronsiu and @mashalkkhan ✨ both are artists who took part in Centre [3]’s Emerging Artist Residency of 2019 . . . THIS Friday, March 13th from 7-10 PM, we will be holding the reception for Ron Siu’s When You’re In The Throes, and mashal khan’s learning to breathe again – please join us in supporting two incredible emerging artists, who have worked hard during their time at Centre [3] 🌷We are thankful to Ron and mashal for their time and energy . . . When You’re In The Throes is new print-based work by Ron Siu that takes Yaoi – gay-themed Japanese graphic Romance novels – as its point of departure. Siu explores the softly sensual and sentimental depictions of young men typical to the genre. In his figures, emphasis is placed on a sense of intimacy in awakening desires, rather than overt sexuality. The young men appear in the throes of a deep internal drama, as if on the verge of being overwhelmed by their emotional energy. Siu places these romanticized, archetypal youths in dialogue, connecting them to contemporary perceptions around desire and identity . . . learning to breathe again is an amalgamation of memories, joy, stillness, change and whimsical moments put together to ground the artist and her community in the present. we, as systematically racialized bodies and communities are not rooted in our oppression. we resist and it is in that resistance that we are able to find our breath again. we are not peripheral to structures that centre whiteness, ableism, colonialism, imperialism, patriarchy, racialized capitalism and other violent and insidious oppressions. we are the centre . . . #openingreception #emergingartist #monotype #video #gallerywall #hamont #proud
