SOUTH CENTRAL ARTSWORK INDIANA PRESENTS

ARTS MENTORING AND YOU

A Series of Workshops on How to Get the Most from a Mentor
for Emerging Artists, Performers, and Writers with Physical or Intellectual Disabilities

Tuesday, September 25
Tuesday, October 23
Thursday, November 15

Time: 5:30 - 7 pm*

Cost: Free [REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED.]

Location: Bloomington City Hall
401 N. Morton Street, McCloskey Conference Rm. (1st floor)
~ fully accessible ~ free parking after 5 pm ~

*a 30-minute reception will follow the workshop on Nov. 15th.

Workshop attendees will participate in three brief sessions with hands-on exercises to help them understand what arts mentoring is, how it works, and how it can help them achieve their goals as artists.

What is the Purpose of the Workshops?

At this time, there is no area program established to match emerging artists with disabilities with an experienced artist-mentor. The purpose of the trainings is to set the groundwork for such a program by defining what local needs it could meet, and by identifying and preparing individuals who might participate as mentees. (Attendance at the trainings does not require nor guarantee a commitment to future participation in a mentoring program.)

Each participant completing the series will get a free copy of the book Putting Creativity to Work!

Our Target Audience: Individuals Who…

•    have an arts-related interest or skill they wish to develop
•    live in Monroe or surrounding counties
•    are age 18 or older
•    have a disability of any kind
•    can attend all 3 training sessions
