Becoming a part of The Collective Mentorship Program requires a dedication to learning from others, sharing your own ideas and the determination to create and excel in digital media. No previous experience is required - we work with artists to remove barriers to participation at all levels.

  • GOAL PLANNING –participants visit with our staff and develop a strategy for their professional advancement.

  • WEB PROFILE - participants create an online profile that presents them as artists to the public.

  • MENTORSHIP - participants receive specialized mentorship based on identified learning needs that are designed to advance the quality and content of their work.

  • STUDIO ACCESS – participants learn the general operation of the In Progress studio and access program. Once trained, artists may reserve creative time in the building to practice and further develop their skills.

  • DIGITAL RESOURCE ACCESS - participants work with professional artists to learn technical applications of professional digital art-making tools.

  • PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT – participants create web portfolios that highlight their work, receiving guidance on content and writing development.

  • COST - There is no cost to participating in this program, however we do expect those benefiting share and engage with others. We expect participants to create and develop discipline in their art-form and to give back to others as needed.
