You Me Gallery

You Me Gallery was established in 1975 by a group of Hamilton artists. We rented a storefront on James North, close to Cannon, which was empty at the time. The intention was to use the gallery as a social backdrop for the artists to showcase their work and have conversations. Indeed we believed we were the only artists in town. After leaving the Inc., I became an Administrator. I have curated and worked as an administrator in various organizations that champion public art. Since I am here, there are many changes. The street is calm, with no nightclubs and terraces. It is a two-way street. The street lights are antique. The CN Station is now a banquet hall. James North has changed a lot (Kaitlin Junek, personal communication, October 1, 2016). The arts community began to move in when I bought 330 James North in Hamilton in 2002. James North is now the epicenter of Hamilton's arts district. You me gallery is a place will be a place that I wish established. I want to expose the public to the transformative power of art. The gallery should be a place where art and artists are valued. Excelsior, for both you and me. Reference
