We are very pleased that three participants of the mentorship program are currently interning at the National Gallery of Art.
The second phase of the program began in the fall, with participants starting their meetings with mentors and continuing exploratory visits to cultural organizations. The Užupis Art Incubator, SODAS 2123, and the Contemporary Art Centre hosted the mentorship participants, and preparations for the final event of the year are underway.
Program partners include Vilnius City Municipality, the Kazickas Family Foundation, the Lithuanian Council for Culture, the Department of National Minorities, and the Goethe Institute.
The activity is part of the “Get the net” project (The Action Civil Society Cooperation in the fields of Youth, Education and Training – FPA (ERASMUS-2023-CSC-OG-FPA).
About the program
The Artscape Mentorship Program is the first cultural educational initiative designed to promote creative activity among artists and creators who have sought refuge in Lithuania. Selected participants will have the opportunity to take part in a training cycle, build connections with Lithuanian cultural organizations, engage in a 1:1 mentorship program with cultural professionals, and develop their individual or group artistic initiatives.
The goal of the mentorship program is to create a creative educational space where participants can strengthen their artistic authenticity and foster collaboration between Lithuanian cultural organizations, cultural professionals, and creators who have arrived in Lithuania.
