Emerging artist mentorship

GUELPH – The Guelph Emerging Artist Mentorship Project is a partnership of Guelph Arts Council (GAC) and the University of Guelph School of Fine Art and Music  (SOFAM), supporting artists in the critical transition to professional life. 

“GAC and SOFAM are grateful for project support from the RBC Emerging Artists Project, which helps artists bridge the gap from emerging to established,” officials say. 

Applications for the fifth round of the project, which begins in May, are being accepted until May 19.

Guelph visual and media artists, musicians and cultural managers are encouraged to apply as mentors or emerging artists. 

Established artists may apply online as mentors, and emerging artists may apply online to be mentored. 

In the four previous rounds of the project, 33 emerging musicians, visual artists and cultural managers were paired with Guelph artist mentors.
