This free Speed Mentoring session is open to those age 18 – 25 who are interested in gaining advice about the arts and cultural industries.

"The speed-mentoring session allowed me to meet several arts professionals that I wouldn't have been able to interact with in such a useful way in any other setting. I left the event with personal contact emails, ideas for collaborative events, and generally a better sense of what direction I might want to move in in my own career in the arts."

Need inspiration, advice or want to build your artistic network? The speed mentoring session is open to those age 18 – 25 who are interested in the arts and cultural industries. Our mentors are artists and staff from a range of backgrounds, and can use their experience to support you to overcome challenges, provide inspiration or help you build your artistic practice or career.

All of our mentors are easy to talk with, and happy to share their experiences and expertise.
