Mentorship & Guidance
Mentoring is a slow conversation. We pair you with someone in the cultural field who's a few steps ahead — and stays in your corner.
What it's about
A relationship, not a workshop.
Direction
Map where you are, where you want to go, and the smallest next step.
Honest feedback
Real talk on your portfolio, projects, applications and self-doubt.
Strategy
Funding, residencies, exhibitions, jobs — pick the right battle.
Network
Warm intros to people in the field who actually answer.
How it works
From first message to first session.
Step 1
Intake
You tell us where you are, what you're stuck on, and what a good year would look like.
Step 2
Pairing
We match you with a mentor within about two weeks.
Step 3
Sessions
Monthly conversations — in person when possible, video otherwise.
Step 4
Check-ins
Short async check-ins between sessions when you need a nudge.
