Contemporary Artist Micro Commissions & Mentoring Support

Castlefield Gallery and Creative Industries Trafford (CIT) are teaming up to offer a Micro Commissions & ongoing mentoring support to Contemporary Artists.

Castlefield Gallery and CIT have been working together for several years to provide portfolio reviews to contemporary visual artists.  To expand upon this partnership, and selected from the next round of portfolio sessions they will award a Micro-Commission and ongoing mentoring support to two artists. Both of these awards will be made with ongoing development as their focus – the aim is to offer meaningful support and opportunities to emerging artists.

Micro-Commission

An award of £400 to one artist to support the display of their work displayed at Waterside Arts Centre’s gallery bar space in 2015. This award will be made to an emerging artist whose work is ready for exhibition

Mentoring Support

An award to one artist  of two free mentoring sessions with an experienced arts professional. This will be to provide a level of ongoing developmental support and critical feedback to help further the artist’s career. These sessions will be one hour long and will take place within six months of the October 4th event.

Selection for both awards will be made by the portfolio session viewers in partnership with Castllefield Gallery and CIT.
