Hamilton Arts Awards Nomination
It was wonderful to be a part of the Hamilton Arts Awards on Monday May 9, 2011.
I was honored to be nominated as Visual Artist of the year. Carly McAskill was my Emerging Artist recommendation. It was great to see a packed house at The Scottish Rite and to realize what a vibrant arts community we have in Hamilton.
The visual arts award went to Alan Flint with his Emerging nominee being Paul Antic. Congratulations! The list of nominees was extensive and I was happy to be a part of such a talented group of artists.
The Small is Good Exhibition has been extended at The Print Studio for another month, until the end of May! Check out my prints and see all of the wonderful things the TPS and it’s staff doing which has earned them 2011 Hamilton Arts Awards in three categories!

Art Heist Foiled!
The exhibition started on May 7th with a very successful night at the 200 Ton Tuna Food Share event at This Ain’t Hollywood. Loads of sales and positive feedback had me walking on air.
Day two was dramatic with a near art heist. The attempt was made during a crowded night at the bar, the art was recovered after a dramatic showdown with the thief.
Promptly stripped of his dignity and two hidden paintings, he was chucked out the door!
Cheers to the brave citizens that informed the bar staff of the robbery and those that helped recover the art work.
The work has been double fastened and will look amazing for the Art Crawl on Friday 14th, 7-11pm. Hope to see you there.

Not Without an Audience Invitation
|
|
Not Without an Audience Join us on May 14, 2010 for the opening of an exhibition of paintings and block prints by Cornelia Peckart at Hamilton’s premier rock and roll bar This Ain’t Hollywood. |
Not Without an Audience is an exhibition created for this live music venue. The spotlight is focused on the audience as they interact before, during and after the show. They are the vital element required for the success and survival of bars, bands and the musical style of rock and roll. Without an audience there is no show.
Cornelia Peckart has created an imaginary audience that fills the wall space with people having a good time. The exhibition will run from May 7 – June 2, 2010.
The series Not Without an Audience consists of six LP sized block prints illustrating a bar crowd scene. The images have a gestural quality with bold lines, which give the work a comic book feel.
Dozens of block prints, applied to wood, glass, paper and steel sheeting show audiences dancing and enjoying themselves. The blocks have been printed in whole or in part adding variety to an ever expanding the crowd.
Originally from Hamilton, Cornelia resettled here in 2008 after twenty five years away. She attended the Ontario College of Art and Design in Toronto with majors in Installation Art and Printmaking. She has lived, worked and exhibited in Toronto, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Rotterdam and Berlin.
Recent exhibitions and performances include; A series of ten gouache paintings titled ‘One in Ten’ as part of the September 2010 Good Medicine Show at *Hotshot Gallery on Toronto; A performance of ‘Treat System: Part One’ October 2010 at Nuit Blanche in Toronto; A performance of ‘Treat System: Part Two, A line is a line…’ at the November 2010 James St North Art Crawl in Hamilton.
If you have not had the chance to experience Hamilton’s fantastic, monthly James St North Art Crawl, this would be a great spot to start. This venue is located on the northern-most tip of the crawl at the corner of Murray and James St North, kitty-corner to the old train station.
