We are excited to announce the launch of The Cotton Factory Youtube Channel and THREADS, a series of short videos showcasing artists in and around the Hamilton area.
The artists, like spokes on a wheel, or the threads within a tapestry, are a small part of Hamilton’s growing cultural landscape.
The project began during the coronavirus lockdown as an effort to provide a window into the creative work of artists in isolation.
In order to keep the arts relevant, connect communities and build a digital stage, our hope is for THREADS to become a vehicle for artist working in different mediums to share their work with the public.
