The First Two Fridays of Each Month

Hamilton has a vibrant visual arts scene; there is something for everybody. Acting as a ‘vehicle’ for the promotion of art; working to create a public appreciation of the contribution of fine art to our lives. The Art Bus gets you and your friends to where it is all happening!
When: the first and second Friday evening of every month, 6:30 pm to about 10 to 10:30 pm.
Where: The tour starts at The Pearl Company (16 Steven St. at King William) at 6:30pm. The bus brings you back there at about 10 pm or so for an apres-tour wind-down.
