In 2002 an exhibition of six mainly local artists at Gallery on the Bay led to a major travelling exhibition of more than 40 Canadian-Hungarian artists. , according to Hamilton Spectator. "Who we are as Hungarians becomes a matter of being 'in situ,' meaning that we and our artistic expressions are shaped by who surrounds us and what place we are in," says Burlington artist Mary Keczan-Ebos, the exhibition co-curator. In the 1920s, a journalist from Hungary dubbed Hamilton the Hungarian capital of Canada. The exhibition, Re: In Situ, has travelled to Hungary, Quebec and New Brunswick. It is now at Gallery on the Bay and two additional venues: You Me Gallery and Workers Arts and Heritage Centre.
