LONDON—The first Foundling Fellows were announced at a ceremony on Tuesday at the Foundling Museum, London's first public art gallery, which now features a collection of art and social history.

Musician Damon Albarn as the Handel Fellow, sculptor Richard Wentworth as the Hogarth Fellow, and children's author Jacqueline Wilson as the Coram Fellow will work with the museum in 2008 to develop creative initiatives for children.

The fellows are named after Thomas Coram, William Hogarth, and George Frideric Handel, the founders and benefactors of the original Foundling Hospital, which the museum commemorates.
