About this Event
Come to Hamiltonian Artists on Saturday, December 5, to celebrate artists, friends, supporters, and everyone who has been part of our story. We’ll have an exhibition in the gallery, a silent auction, open studios, and more. Hit the living room dance floor to open-format selections curated by Les the DJ, grab a drink at the cash bar, explore the building, browse the artwork, and spend the evening with artists and co-conspirators who have worked, learned, and grown with us over the years.
Arrive fashionably on time! Between 7–8 PM, we'll have Open Studios with artists Lisa Brown, Holly Harris, Kamille Simone, and Bahar Yürükoğlu. Pull them aside for a chat about their studio practices and get a peek at works in progress.
Inspired by the beloved tradition of apartment galleries, Wall to Wall brings together work by Hamiltonian fellows, alumni, mentors, jurors, and friends in a silent art auction in our new space. With an expansive selection of artwork priced between $200 and $2,500, Wall to Wall is an opportunity to discover new artists and take home a work of art you love.
Unlike traditional art auctions, bidding will begin at each artist's retail price, so their work is never undersold. Artists will receive 60% of the final sale price, with the remaining 40% supporting Hamiltonian Artists and our programs.
We believe arts patronage should be for everyone, not just those who can afford a $200+ ticket. That's why House Party tickets start at just $20. Come as you are, bring a friend, and help us make arts fundraising a little more accessible.
As 2026 comes to a close, we're looking ahead to another year of creating opportunities for artists to connect, experiment, and grow. Whether you're joining us to support an artist, discover new work, or just enjoy a night out, we look forward to welcoming you!
