On October 5th, join us at 7pm in the rehearsal hall for a special pre-show conversation facilitated by Anisa Olufemi (Fellowship Manager and Curator at Hamiltonian Artists)! We’ll be exploring what it means to be an artist from DMV with Woolly Company Member Shannon Dorsey, and cross-disciplinary artist Sydney Vernon. Drawing upon The Comeuppance’s themes of coming-of-age nostalgia and homecoming, the two will discuss how growing up in the area led them to their chosen artforms, and the ways their approaches to creative expression and storytelling reflect their local roots.
Hamiltonian Artists’ mission is to nurture community and increase access to space, opportunity, and resources for emerging artists, through impactful programs and exhibitions.
The organization reaffirms and expands upon its originating vision as an incubator for the professional development of emerging visual artists, serving as a hub for Washington, DC’s, creative economy and a vibrant center for contemporary art in the DC area.
