Creative Frame Mentoring for Artists
Mentoring 101 for Artists
Have you ever thought about getting a mentor or becoming a mentor to other artists? Mentoring can be a very important part of an artists professional development. It can be very broad, relating to long-term goals or very specific, relating directly to special projects, growing your professional network, working internationally or expanding your business or marketing skills. To introduce Creative Frame members to the practicalities of mentoring we will host a mentoring workshop for both mentors and mentees. The workshop will offer an introduction to the mentoring mindset and explore the skills and approaches needed for mentoring to be successful for both parties.
During the workshop we will also hear from artists who have been part of successful mentoring partnership as mentors or mentees. The workshop will be facilitated by Monika Sapielak from the Centre for Creative Practices.
It is advised that anyone intending to make an application for a Leitrim County Council Arts Office’s Mentoring Bursary in 2024 attends this workshop.
Date: Wednesday April 10th
Time: 10.30am – 1pm
Platform: Zoom
