Craft X City of Monash mentoring program
Emerging visual artists and makers are invited to submit an expression of interest (EOI) for a new and exciting two-month mentoring and professional development opportunity in partnership with the City of Monash.
Fifteen artists or makers will be selected for the program which will feature a series of workshops and one-on-one mentoring.
The program offers participants the chance to build new networks, elevate their exhibition portfolio and develop their professional skills.
Participants will also be invited to be part of a group exhibition presented by Monash Council at The Track Gallery to showcase their work and further gain professional experience.
While no formal training or exhibition experience is required, visual artists and makers who have an existing practice and portfolio and who are living within, or have a strong connection to Monash, are encouraged to submit an EOI.
