JUMP is the first program of its kind to support young artists anywhere in Australia to work with industry leaders across a wide range of art forms. Thirty six mentorship places of up to 10 months each are available this year for artists aged 18 – 30 and in the first five years of their career. There are also mentorships available in 2011 and 2012.
Funding is for a creative project to be achieved through a one-on-one relationship with a chosen mentor. The program also provides access to professional skills development, online profiling, showcasing of their projects and opportunities to engage with national artistic networks.
JUMP, the national mentoring program for young and emerging artists, is supported by the Australia Council for the Arts, the Australian Government’s arts funding and advisory body.
Are you keen to find out more about JUMP’s 2010 participants? Who made it into the program, which mentors they’ve chosen, and what kinds of projects they’re working on? The updated JUMP website, www.jumpmentoring.com.au, now features individual artist and mentor profiles, and links to their various online platforms including Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, flickr and twitter.
The site’s events section will also include listings of upcoming performances, work in progress showings, play readings and exhibitions by JUMP artists. Keep an eye on this section as details of more JUMP artists’ events are locked in around the country!
If you are interested in the work of one particular artist, sign up for their RSS feed! Or are you just curious about what’s happening in your home state or your own area of creative practice? The updated site also allows you to search for artists and mentors by state and form of art practice.
