“Because of mentorship I have immersed myself much more fully in the art scene. I do not feel like I am on the outside anymore. And now I can really articulate myself and answer questions about who I am as an artist and WHY I make art.”
– Barb Bottle
Mentorship is a peer-based relationship in which an experienced practitioner offers counsel, support, feedback and resources to a more emerging one.
What mentoring can do:
- develop a mentee’s skills, knowledge, confidence, self-reliance
- pass on professional knowledge
- develop community
- help solve problems and realize professional dreams
The mentor has specific experience which is relevant to the mentee. They have “been there, done that” and can offer guidance through first-hand experience.
Mentorship makes our lives, each other’s lives, our organizations and our communities healthier and more effective.
