The Hop Fellows program is a year-long student residency program with a flexible, experiential curriculum designed for Dartmouth students to gain skills and knowledge, connect with peers and artists, and explore the societal impact of the arts.
Each cohort of Hop Fellows experience a robust co-curricular program to introduce them to areas of arts management including artistic planning, production, academic engagement, marketing and promotion, community and education programs, and visitor services. They meet for weekly lunch discussions, network and learn from art professionals, co-program events like the Arts at Dartmouth Career Days and enjoy experiential excursions, including a capstone trip. As ambassadors for the arts, Hop Fellows are also eligible for free tickets to Hop performances and films.
Each Fellow also dives deep in a certain area of work through a paid year-long residency. Under mentorship, each Hop Fellow has ongoing and project-specific responsibilities through which they gain critical skills for advancing as an artist or professional in the creative sector. Fellows are also the backbone of the Hop's engagement with students: offering ideas, executing programs and initiatives, and strengthening the connection between the Hop and the student body.
These fellowships are for rising sophomores ('25s), juniors ('24s) and seniors ('23s), and graduate students interested in arts administration. Must be enrolled for fall, winter, and spring of the 2022/2023 academic year.
Applications are no longer being accepted for the 2022/23 year.
The research fellow will be tasked with the project of exploring and organizing decades of archival material relating to the Hopkins Center’s history. The goal will be both to make the archives enduring and accessible, as well as to create a full, retrospective view of the Hop’s history in order to inform future programming and initiatives.
The Hop’s building will close this winter for a two-year renovation; when it opens, programming will draw from the past to forge the future. The research fellow will work with an eye toward rediscovering and documenting notable past programming, visiting artists and scholars, pivotal moments in Hop history, relations to historical events, the founding of the Hop, and visions for the future of our campus and arts in our region.
The Cultural Diplomacy Fellow will work to advance the Hop’s interaction with the global arts landscape. This work will include international programs (how the Hop can have a footprint in other countries, as well as how art from other countries reaches Dartmouth). Hop programming and other initiatives will be involved. Work will have crossover with other institutions and programs around campus, such as the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding.
