commissions and other collaborations.

Those wishing to be considered for mentoring should register their interest by submitting a registration form and supporting material (please read the guidance notes for more detailed information). When suitable projects arise we will use this information to match potential mentees with artists. We may also use secondary selection methods such as interview if we find that more than one Mentee would be suitable for the project.

Once appointed, Mentees will shadow the lead artist at strategic key points throughout the duration of the project. These will be determined by the lead artist in consultation with the Mentee.

The mentoring process will be a professional element within the project. Mentees will be expected to sign a contract, have their own public liability insurance in place and submit a report at the end of the project. We offer a stipend of £50 per day as a contribution to cover expenses.
