ONGOING: 2026 Mentor in Residence Registration

Mentor in Residence

CONSULTATION SIGN UP
Neighbourhood Arts Network is pleased to present a Mentor in Residence program to support artists and arts organizations with the re-designing and reimagining of artistic work and assist artists in further developing community arts practices by providing mentorship support in career planning, project development, and developing entrepreneurial skills through virtual consultation sessions with industry professionals during a one-on-one online consultation.

Mentor meetings are delivered over Zoom, Google Meets and/or phone calls. Let us know if there is a different method of technology that works best for you when you connect with your mentor. You can note your preferred method of communication and any accommodation requests when you register. Do your best to fill out this form with as much information as possible so your mentor can review and prepare.

Please email Zyrelle@torontoarts.org for accessibility support or if you would need a mentor recommendation. We can support you in completing the registration form and provide ASL, notetaking, and closed captioning for meetings as requested.

Once you submit this form, we will email you within 1 week to connect you with your mentor so they can suggest dates and times for your first conversation.
