In addition:
Contemporary Artist Micro Commissions & Mentoring Support
CIT and Castlefield Gallery further develop the support offered at the Portfolio Sessions with two new opportunities to artists taking part.
Micro-Commission
An award of £400 to one artist to support the display of their work displayed at Waterside Arts Centre’s gallery bar space in 2015. This award will be made to an emerging artist whose work is ready for exhibition
Mentoring Support
An award to one artist of two free mentoring sessions with an experienced arts professional. This will be to provide a level of ongoing developmental support and critical feedback to help further the artist’s career. These sessions will be one hour long and will take place within six months of the February 28th event.
Both of these awards will be made with ongoing development as their focus – the aim is to offer meaningful support and opportunities to emerging artists.
Selection for both awards will be made by the portfolio session viewers in partnership with Castllefield and CIT.
