Opening Reception for Dave Gould’s Anne Foster Windows Display

HAMILTON, ON - The City of Hamilton invites the public to attend the opening reception for the newest Anne Foster Windows display on Friday June 14, 2019 from 6 to 9 pm  at the Tourism Hamilton Visitor Centre, 28 James Street North.

Created by local visual and audio artist/musician Dave Gould, the window display features instruments made by the artist from the “bone section” of his Audiotorium Orchestra. Using found and repurposed items such as whalebones, antlers and toilets, Gould takes a ‘DIY’ approach when creating instruments and finding sounds.

“I am excited to display my artwork in the very same window Anne Foster Music Shop used to sell my products in the 1990s.”

Dave Gould, Artist

Attendees will enjoy performances by Gould on his one-of-a-kind musical instruments at 6:30 and 8:30 pm. The reception takes place during the monthly James Street North Art Crawl; the display can be viewed through Monday August 26, 2019.
