LooseCanonGallery constantly endeavours to promote and cultivate young emerging artists in an environment of freedom and exchange in Hamilton. The gallery is incredibly enthusiastic about being a part of a burgeoning cultural area on James St N.

Established in April of 2005, LooseCanonGallery is owned and operated by Dane Pedersen. As a Hamiltonian, Dane attended both Westdale High School and McMaster University. After completing a Bachelor of Arts (art history), Dane immediately set his sights on opening what will initially be a commercial gallery. Quickly, he found a home amongst the Jamesville residents and after collecting together several artists friends and acquaintances LooseCanon saw its inaugural year.

The gallery maintains much of its original charm easily seen at the entrance with tile work from its days as fish store and on the gorgeous tin moulded ceiling. For artists, the showroom is highly adaptable and under continuous improvement to allow for diversity. For the public, being virtually on the corner of James St. and Cannon St. makes LooseCanon highly visible to passing traffic and casual walkers. It also does not hurt to be close to several excellent restaurants offering a wide spectrum of delicious choices. Let parking be of little concern, as there is plenty on inexpensive places to park or simple grab a bus to Jackson Square and stroll down to Jamesville, which is quickly becoming one of the most interesting areas in Hamilton.
