Yukon Arts Mentorship

Thursday, 7 May 2020 17:15

The Yukon Arts Centre is stepping up to support Yukon emerging artists during this time of COVID-19 through the virtual mentorship program. 

The Yukon Emerging Artist Program is an initiative of the Yukon Arts Centre supported by the RBC Foundation to contribute to the professional development of Yukon artists by creating meaningful mentorship opportunities between emerging and established artists. 

This $10,000 program will provide honorarium of $500 for mentee and $500 for mentor / collaborator.

Emerging artists can apply through this program to propose a virtual mentorship or collaboration with an established Canadian artist. There are no deadlines for completion though projects must be completed within a reasonable time frame. The application deadline is rolling (ongoing). 

Casey Prescott CEO of the Yukon Arts Centre is genuinely excited to announce the Yukon Emerging Artist Program. Prescott says art is essential, especially in these times of uncertainty and he is hoping the mentorship program can inspire artists to do their best work.

The applications will be juried by staff members of the Yukon Arts Centre and a member of the Yukon arts community. 

Applicants will be notified 10 days from receipt of application.
