Hamiltonian Artists Fellowship Program

The Hamiltonian Artists Fellowship Program is now accepting applications for its 2011-2013 term. Hamiltonian Artists offers a competitive two-year fellowship program for new innovative visual artists in all media. All promising visual artists who are currently not represented by a gallery are eligible to apply.

Deadline: Monday, February 28, 2011

This is the fourth annual open call to emerging artists to apply to their two-year Fellowship Program, aimed to aid in the professional development of contemporary visual artists.

Please refer to their website for application requirements, restrictions and forms. The application process will close at 6:00 pm on on Monday, February 28, 2011, and any applications received after that date will not be considered.

Hamiltonian Artists is funded in part by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, an agency supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

DC Commission On The Arts & Humanities AFP Exhibition

The DCCAH announces the 2011 Artist Fellowship Program (AFP) exhibition, opening this coming Friday. The DC Commission AFP offers grants to individual artists who make a significant contribution to the arts and who strive to promote the arts in the District of Columbia. This year's show is held at the Smith Farm Gallery on U Street. Interestingly, about a half dozen of the artists in the fellowship show are included in Lenny Campello's book on Washington DC artists - the book that has created a bit of controversy regarding the press coverage that has surrounded the yet-to-be-published tome.
