Educational Model

Hamiltonian immediately comes to mind as an inspirational model of educational programming. This nonprofit space founded by Paul So resides in the U Street corridor of Washington DC. The focus of the space is to develop and advance the careers of emerging artists ...all of which is anchored by its prominent exhibition space. Featured Hamiltonian programming includes: Artist Fellowships, Professional Development, Panel Discussions and Speaker Series. 

Artist Fellowships:

The two year fellowships allow for focused development of emerging artists. Hamiltonian fellows are expected to participate fully in the fellowship program, which provides a schedule of exhibitions as well as opportunities to participate in gallery operations and other activities to further their careers and knowledge of the business of art management. 


Our artist in residence program has similar goals in growth for artists' work ...as well as sharing the form of an exhibition with overlapping educational projects.

Professional Development: example, Taxes for Artists:

Hamiltonian features an annual workshop that focusses around the subject of tax structuring for artist. We support this type of pragmatic programming, leading to more educated artist able to survive in the industry as well.

Panel Discussions and Speaker Series:

At Hamiltonian, the discussions involve a diverse group of professionals. Past speakers include gallery owners, established artist and art professionals in the field. In Hamiltonian's speaker series artist fellows are also asked to share their thoughts on their work and development. 


Our project shares a similar mission within the artist residence program; however, in contrast, we ask artist to participate in teaching projects and team building to share their knowledge with the community. This is done in weekend tutorials, artist talks and demonstrations.
