Looking for some direction or advice on your project or idea? We’re offering some ongoing mentoring, where you’ll have the chance to meet 1-1 with a mentor four times over the course of a year to gain some guidance on what to do next. Whether it’s for a specific project, or just to develop your creative practice further, mentoring is a really helpful tool to help you realise your potential!
Maybe you’re looking at starting up a creative business, producing a theatre show, or starting your journey as a visual artist? Mentoring can help you overcome barriers and unlock new ideas, we have a variety of mentors with heaps of industry experience to share with you to help you progress with your idea and even your career.
Some examples of mentors include Gill Wildman, Director of Upstarter, who work with startup creative businesses, helping them to successfully start, run, and grow their business! And Lexi Zelda Stevens, from Helping Artists Make Work, a professional mentor who works with a variety of creatives and curates the visual arts programme at Green Man Festival. Whatever your practice is, let us know what kind of support you’re looking for and we’ll try our best to match you up with a mentor who suits your needs.
Practical info: The mentoring sessions can take place either via Zoom or in person depending on your/your mentor’s availability. These sessions are 1-1, but if you’d like to take part as a group (e.g. a band, or artist collective) then that’s fine also. To apply, please tell us why you would like to take part in this opportunity and what your creative practice is, you can also leave any links to your work if you’d like.
Opportunity Date & Time: Four times over the course of a year, dates and times tbc.
