This is where ideas meet action, where art meets community,

In the NEWS drop-down menu, we share updates, ideas, and opportunities that matter to our community of creative entrepreneurs, artists, and culture builders.

Culture by Design explores how we can design creative practices that sustain rather than deplete. Through thoughtful essays and reflections, we examine the intersection of art, entrepreneurship, care, and intentional practice. Culture doesn't just happen—it's shaped by the choices we make in how we structure our work, collaborate with others, and design the systems we move within.

You'll Discover:

• Insights on creativity and sustainable creative practice
• Behind-the-scenes glimpses into  projects and our approach at Maquette Culture
• Practical ideas for embedding well-being and dignity into your creative work
• Questions worth sitting with as you build your practice

We believe in supporting artists not just through programming, but by creating opportunities for their work to be seen and collected. In this space, we'll feature artists from our community, showcase available artworks for purchase, and share the stories behind the work.

Each year, we publish the Maquette Art Fair Magazine—a beautifully curated collection featuring participating artists, their works, and the themes that connect us. The catalogue is available to read online, offering a lasting record of Art Fair Hamilton and the creative voices it celebrates. 

When you subscribe, you'll receive new blog posts, artist features, event announcements, and invitations to participate in what we're building together. Be the first to know about workshops, collaborative opportunities, and ways to engage with our growing community. We're building something together, and we'd love for you to be part of it. Subscribers get first access to registration, early-bird pricing, and special promotions.

We write when we have something meaningful to share—not on a fixed schedule, but with intention. Each post is an opportunity to think differently about how we create culture through our work and to learn from each other.

As a newly incorporated nonprofit, Maquette Culture exists because of the generosity of people who believe in this vision. If you're interested in supporting our work—whether through sponsorship, partnership, or other forms of contribution—we'd be honoured to explore what's possible together.
