young artist mentorship program

Art Gallery on Ovens is committed to helping young artists in our region through our Young Artist Mentorship Program.

​

Each year applications will open in September inviting candidates to apply to join our gallery for the following year as a Resident Artist. The position will be sponsored in part or fully, depending on funding available each year.

​

The Program is based on the Gallery’s mission of enabling art experiences for all.

​

In particular:

​

• It aims to recognise the importance of nurturing a young artist in their artistic practice.
   

• It provides a place of community connection and engagement in order to contribute to the cultural growth and development of a young artist, forming a sense of connection, belonging and affirmation of the value of artistic endeavours into the future.
   

• It endeavours to develop and support a young artist as they create and develop a body of work in an individual art practice, and enable them to have the confidence to exhibit their work to the public and understand the workings of a professional gallery.
