proud to announce the launch of the Ottawa Region Mentorship – “the Ten
Month Workshop.” These workshops are intended to be significant
learning experiences that are transformative for the participating
artists. A maximum of ten participants per workshop will be asked to
take creative risks. The workshop will begin with a session during which
participants will present their work and their goals for the workshop.
Each participant will then be asked to set learning goals and objectives
for the duration of the workshop. The group will meet over the next ten
months to review their progress, participate in group critiques, and
revise objectives as necessary. The workshop will culminate in an
exhibition.
