The mentoring programme will pair young people who have a passion for making art with a mentor who is a professional artist/designer/maker . The mentor will give creative and professional support to their mentees, helping them to develop their own creative work towards future career or study goals. There will also be training and development workshops and studio visits with other creative professionals.
The programme runs from October 22 to June 23, with most mentoring sessions every three weeks on a Wednesday from 4.45-5.45pm. The sessions will all take place at our Bow Road site (E3 2SJ).
Participants will be selected on the basis of:
- Whether they meet the criteria for the programme (found here)
- What they say they hope to gain from the programme (for example, explain the skills they want to develop, or anything else they would like support with)
- Whether they can attend the programme dates
