In my endeavour to help those thinking about joining our Ignite Artists Mentorship program I asked my mentor Nancy Brown to spread a few pearls of wisdom.
"Artist mentoring sessions are aimed to develop an artist's professional
practice by giving feedback and practical help with a developing artist's
practice. A mentor will gain an overview of the artist's practice and focus,
drawing attention to areas where there are professional opportunities, target
audience and placement opportunities for the artist's work or services within
the broader arts and gallery communities.
Artist mentoring can help move an artist's practice to the next level,
presenting work to a wider audience, and adding practical skills to develop and
promote work. Consideration is given to the artist's online presence, social
media options, and funding opportunities, advice about the presentation of
projects, artworks and online presence, and advice about sales and pricing of
artworks and services. A mentor can offer their skills as a practicing artist
to the development new work or projects, and can offer encouragement both
practical and conceptual to bring work from idea to presentation or
exhibition. "
