Pleased to announce that I was selected and paired with Mentor & Artist Joy Gerrard by CCA Derry~Londonderry in the second cohort of the CCA x Jerwood = Supports Mentoring programme. The second cohort are:
Mentees:
Amira McDonagh, Clinton Kirkpatrick, Ellen Blair, Esther O’Kelly, Lucy Mulholland, Rachael Melvin, Rebecca Strain, Seanna O’Boyle-Irvine
Mentors:
Ellen Mara De Wachter, Edy Fung, Joy Gerrard, Alison Pascoe, Laura O’Connor, Sinéad O'Neill-Nicholl, Moran Been-noon
The Mentoring scheme offers support and assistance to emerging artists in our region who are navigating the challenges of a career in the arts. Mentees will benefit from insight and knowledge shared by their mentors, who will - through these supportive and constructive sessions - bring their experience, perspectives and prompts to mentees’ practices.
The CCA x Jerwood = Supports Short Mentoring Scheme is a paid programme for both Mentors and Mentees.
