About us

Art Lovers in a Captivating Location

With a population of just over 5000, the picturesque town of Hudson, Quebec, located on the shores of the Lake of Two Mountains, proudly claims a higher ratio of artists to residents than any other town in the area. The natural beauty of the area, and the charm of our historic buildings have provided boundless inspiration for many generations.

It all started in 1950 when five local artists — James Crockart, Goeff Ommanney, Mel Putnam, Campbell Wood and Vi Bryan, founded The Lake of Two Mountains Sketching Club. Over the years the club expanded and began holding regular exhibitions in St. James Church Hall. In February 1979 the club was renamed Artistes Hudson Artists (AHA) to reflect the bilingual nature of the region and of our membership.
