Artword Press is a publishing house in Hamilton Ontario. We cast a wide net: fiction, non-fiction, plays, poetry and graphic works.

Books we ourselves want to read. Original ideas, vigorously and eloquently expressed.

Artword has been active in the arts for over 30 years. For 5 years we published a magazine, Artword Artists Forum. We created and ran Artword Theatre and Artword Gallery in Toronto for 12 years, producing our own plays and hosting theatre, music, dance and visual art.

Artword has been in Hamilton since 2008. Until 2019, we ran Artword Artbar, a cozy and well-loved venue for theatre, music, dance and visual art. In 2023, we received a Lifetime Achievement Award from Hamilton.
