The WARM Mentor Program is designed for the serious artist who is in the early stages of her career. Each participant is paired with a professional woman artist mentor for a two-year term. For over 30 years mentors have served as role models for their protégées, sharing their wisdom and professional skills and providing supportive critique.
Registration for the 2018-19 Mentor Program Cycle closes November 19, 2017. The interview period for meeting with prospective mentors is Nov. 6 – Dec 12, 2017. Mentor matches will be confirmed in late December and the program begins in January, 2018.
