🎨 Calling all high school artists!
Applications are now open for the Youth Art Mentorship Program (YAM) at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.
YAM gives emerging young artists the opportunity to take their art practice to the next level. Selected students work alongside a professional artist-mentor and AGP staff to develop new work, experiment with ideas, and learn what it takes to create an exhibition.
Participants get access to studio space, materials, equipment, mentorship, and professional experience, culminating in a public exhibition at the Art Gallery of Peterborough.
Program Highlights:
☑️ Create new artwork and develop new artistic skills with the support and guidance of a professional artist-mentor
☑️ Learn what it takes to create an exhibition from artists and art professionals working in a gallery setting
☑️ Access studio space, materials, and equipment
☑️ Participate in a group exhibition at the AGP
☑️ Receive an artist fee for your work
Now entering its 6th year, YAM is an opportunity to connect with other young artists, build your practice, and experience what it means to bring an exhibition to the public.
