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.
