Mentoring
Mentoring offers professionally focused development for artists. It opens the potential for knowledge sharing and gives artists the opportunity to observe and formally review aspects of their own practice in action. Mentoring can involve a mentor/mentee relationship which brings an experienced artist together with a less experienced artist, to guide and support their creative process.
We previously ran a mentoring scheme as well as a programme with Fire Station Artists Studios, however we now currently offer support for artists in search of mentoring with the Arts and Disability Connect Mentoring Award, funded by the Arts Council and managed by Arts & Disability Ireland.
