CCA x Jerwood = Supports
21 September 2023
Deadline: October 12, 2023
CCA x Jerwood = Supports is launching a new short mentoring scheme (paid) that will offer support and assistance to emerging artists who are navigating the challenges of a career in the arts. This opportunity is for artists who are not currently in any type of formal education who have begun their professional practice.
Mentoring aims to provide the opportunity to focus on career progression and to gain advice on a range of professional development. Mentees benefit from the insight and knowledge from experienced artists who will bring different perspectives and prompts to your practice through supportive and constructive sessions.
