Let’s have fun celebrating New Year’s Eve!

December 31 at 7:00 PM EST – Join our NYE Kids ZOOM where we will sing a few songs, have a dance party, a zany science experiment, and have a Kids Countdown! Featuring guest dancer Tamar Ilana and drummer Chendy Leon!

This is over ZOOM, which is awesome because it is interactive, and we will be able to see and hear you, and you can see and hear us, and you can all see each other as well! It is a real show in a safe, moderated environment.

“I love New Years Eve, and I wanted to do something nice for all the families struggling with what to do with their kids. I wanted to find a fun and safe way for me, my wife, and 9 year old daughter to celebrate First Night with her friends and neighbours,” says McKhool. 

“The idea grew from there and now we are extending the invitation across the country for families to join with us. We will sing a few songs, have a dance party, a zany science experiment, and drumming. This will be on Zoom so we can see each other and celebrate together!”

Live stream for the Hamilton Artists Relief Fund – Tues May 5

So pleased to be able to be a part of this on Tuesday May 5.   In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hamilton Arts Council (HAC) presents the Hamilton Artist Relief Fund and Online Performance Series. HAC understands that the outbreak of COVID-19 presents extraordinary challenges for artists and arts organizations in Hamilton, with unprecedented loss of revenue from performances, community events, education and professional presentations.

The Hamilton Artist Relief Fund is focused on raising and distributing emergency relief funds for artists struggling during this difficult time and providing a curated online platform for local artists to present and perform to a virtual audience. 100% of the donations collected for the Relief Fund will be distributed directly to artists in need.
