The Washington County Art Alliance Mentorship Program
The WCAA greatly values and supports Artist’s charitable contributions. One way a WCAA member can enrich our community is by becoming a Student Artist Mentor in our Mentorship Program. Our organization understands that the ability to pass on an artist’s techniques that one has carefully cultivated is priceless.
What is the WCAA Mentorship Program?
- The Washington County Art Alliance’s Mentorship Program is an opportunity for a WCAA member to donate their time and expertise to educate a student artist about their art form.
- Our mentorship program is a 1:1 teaching and learning experience, although a mentor may decide to take more than 1 mentee.
- The experience will include at least 9 hours of instruction time. The end result will be at least one piece of completed art work by the mentee.
- The mentor will provide all materials needed to produce the predetermined project.
- The WCAA will reimburse mentors up to $200.00 for artist materials and finishing cost (i.e. framing) when the mentor provides an itemized receipt to our treasurer.
- The mentees finished work can be displayed in the mentors studio for Open Studios weekend.
- The mentee can volunteer to help and or participate in the Open Studios weekend, but this is not a requirement.
When will Mentorships be Announced?
Two rounds of mentorships will be announced in 2025. The first round has concluded due to volunteers signing up early at previous Artist Meetings. We will start taking applications for the second round on April 7th. We are currently anticipating that the deadline to apply will be April 25th.
