What You'll be doing

Attending Classes
Artists will be studying under one mentor per month, and the mentors will rotate each month.

Setting Goals

Artists will be encouraged to set a goal to sell $500 worth of their artwork during their time in the program.

Putting on a Group Show
​Artists will help curate, hang, and market the program's culminating student group show, as well as bring attendees to this show.


Entering Calls for Art
Artists will enter all calls for art hosted at Art on 30th as well as enter at least two calls for art outside of our community for added experience and exposure.

Creating + Collaborating

Artists will create a body of work, a cohesive collection of art that represents their newly-developed visual voice, that contains a minimum of six pieces. Artists will also learn how to paint with other artists in the program to create and develop collaborations.
