LEVITATE is a new mentorship program from Outloud for emerging artists from Western Sydney aged 16-27 living with disability, chronic illness or mental ill-health. They will be mentored by professional artists also from these communities over 7 weeks to develop a piece of work. The mentorship will culminate in a work-in-progress showing for invited peers, industry and community guests.
Mentorships will begin on the week of the 24th of March and will go to the 17th of May.
Artists will receive:
- One-on-one mentorship on a project they are working on or a new project in their discipline ( 56 hours)
- A Materials budget of $400 to be used on the creation of the work
- An honorarium of $1200 for your time in the mentorship program
- Opportunity to showcase their work in a professional setting
- Video and Photography documentation of their work.
If this sounds like an opportunity someone from your network, particularly any participants from your Community Connect Disability Workshop or Western Sydney Disability Network would be interested in, you can find the call out link here, and if you’d like to share it across your socials you can find assets and copy here.
I also wanted to pass on the Rebus Theatre & Workshop Training flyer on behalf of Finn, it’s attached to the email.
Thank you!
Kind regards,
