Our 2026 Open Call for Programs invites proposals for artist-led workshops, gatherings, and activations. Selected applicants will have the opportunity to use Hamiltonian Artists’ gallery space, receive marketing support, access gallery inventory, and benefit from on-site assistance from Hamiltonian Artists staff.
The Open Call application opens May 1. Submissions for 2026 programs will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
Eligible programs include, but are not limited to, micro-workshops, discussion circles, curated screenings, listening sessions, performance activations, readings, and open mics. Learn about past programs below.
