Artes Mundi 11 Studio Sessions

Artes Mundi is launching a series of free one-to-one studio sessions online with artists and curators.

Artists based in Wales and Welsh artists based around other parts of the UK can submit an expression of interest to have a series of 3, 60-minute one-to-one sessions with one of our contributors on zoom. Artists will be able to evidence a commitment to their practice through exhibiting widely and to demonstrate the potential for excellence and innovation in the works they produce. The mentoring sessions are aimed at supporting emerging to mid-career artists, for whom these sessions would constitute a significant opportunity. We envisage that this will include artists who are within the first five to ten years of their professional artistic practice.

Please be aware that some of the mentors live outside of the UK and Europe, which will be stated by their names. The mentorship sessions will take place in April and May.

Contributing mentors:

• Nigel Prince – Cardiff, UK
• Marie Helen Pereira – Germany and Senegal
• Jumana Emil Abboud – London, UK and Palestine
• Sawangwongse Ywanghwe – Netherlands
• Sarah Glennie – Dublin, Ireland
• Ceri Hand – London, UK
• Marie-Anne McQuay – Liverpool, UK
• Zasha Cola – Turin, Italy
• Ann Fiona Jones – Wales, UK
• Sarah Lea – UK
• Sancintya Mohini Simpson – Australia

The 1:1 sessions will be centered around your artistic practice. You can ask for advice on how to develop your work in progress or feedback on something that’s already been made. Sessions can offer a sounding board for ideas. We always try to match artists so that you get the most out of their session. To do that we ask that you send us a bit more information. Spaces are limited and the closing date for applications is: Monday 9th March, 12 noon.

To apply for this studio sessions / mentorship please submit the expression of interest form by clicking here.

Remember to tell us who you want to speak to and send a brief description of practice, a statement about the main thing you want to get out of the sessions. Examples of work or web links to it, which can also include your Instagram page.

If there is anything we can do to help you access your session and get the most out of your conversations, please let us know. Some of the things we can offer include: support with child-care costs, live caption reporting, BSL interpretation, or other language interpretation. An audio file for deaf/hard of hearing artist will be made available asap.
