How the mentoring process will work: Artists who are selected will learn through practice, by shadowing an experienced professional mentor on a residency project in a school or a disability organisation. The mentee will also engage with the mentor to learn skills such as project-proposal development, project management, facilitation skills and how to monitor, evaluate and document project work. Mentee's will receive a fee of €600 which will be paid by the Clare Arts Office.

Artists who successfully complete the mentoring programme and who upon review demonstrate the capacity to deliver a project will be offered a residency award as part of our 2024/2025 programme.
