THE DETAILS
Come connect, be Inspired and exchange ideas!
The 2018 Creative Exchange highlights artists in every medium – including writers, performing artists, and visual artists – and features outstanding speakers on an array of topics as well as plenty of time for networking. Many past attendees have great stories about the connections they’ve made at the Creative Exchange – we’ll be highlighting those in the months to come.
Keynote 2018
Elisa H. Hamilton is a multimedia artist whose practice focuses on the creation of inclusive artworks that emphasize shared spaces and the hopeful examination of our everyday places, objects, and experiences. She is a graduate of Massachusetts College of Art and Design where she earned her BFA in Painting in 2007. In 2017, Hamilton was honored by the Improper Bostonian as Boston’s Best Creative Catalyst.
Her work has been shown locally and nationally in solo and group exhibitions and her ongoing project “Dance Spot” has engaged with communities around Boston, as well as at DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA and Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia, PA. She has been the recipient of four public art grants to create temporary public artworks in Boston’s Fort Point neighborhood, and a Creative City grant from New England Foundation for the Arts.
Hamilton has held artist residencies with Vermont Studio Center, Boston Center for the Arts, the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts, and the Fenway Alliance. Recent projects include “Sound Lab,” a special community sound project that was featured in “Listen Hear: The Art of Sound” at Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, “Community Legacy,” a participatory community art project at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, and “Slideshow,” an interactive storytelling installation co-presented by HUBweek and Now+There.
