Hamiltonian Fellowship program

Hamiltonian's mission is to build a dynamic community of innovative artists and effective visual art leaders by providing professional development opportunities to aspiring new artists and to advancing their entrepreneurial success. We believe that access to information and experience on how to navigate the contemporary art industry creates confident artists who make well-informed decisions regarding their careers. In turn, these artists will positively impact our society and the economy through the longevity of their careers. Our three core values are: Professional Development, Artistic Excellence and Community

Hamiltonian Fellowship functions as an “incubator” program for visual artists who are looking to transition into a professional art career. Our goal is to provide artists with valuable commercial gallery experience, a wide network of professional contacts and basic entrepreneurial and business skills to become creative innovators beyond their tenure at Hamiltonian.
