| Description of Program |
QUEER|ART|MENTORSHIP pairs emerging artists with established artists in a year-long exchange across five different fields: Film, Literature, Performance, Visual Art, and Curatorial Practice.
Queer|Art|Mentorship is for artists who are:
• self-identified as queer, lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender
• New York City-based
• early-career and professionally focused, with a body of work already behind them
• Not currently enrolled in school or university

| Description of Support or Services |
The program is largely driven by the unique character of each Mentor/Fellow pairing, organized through individual monthly meetings. Fellows also meet each month as a group in an environment that provides an opportunity for sharing ideas across disciplines and gathering further support among peers. The entire group of Mentor/Fellow pairs also convenes for two dinners throughout the cycle, hosted by Queer|Art. Throughout the year, Queer|Art staff engage in an ongoing dialogue with the Mentors and Fellows in an effort to ensure that the program best serves its participants. Further opportunities for ongoing career education and development will be sought out as the unique needs of each group of Fellows are assessed.
The program culminates with an exhibition in which a manifestation of each fellow’s project will be presented. This exhibition, known as the QAM Annual, is organized in collaboration with the Program Coordinator. |
