You may believe, as I once did, that to be able to become a professional artist you need to have attended a top art college or come from an affluent background. I am living proof that this is a fallacy. Through my professional art practice mentorship I will be detailing the practical steps you need to take to give yourself the best chance of sustaining a career as a full time artist.

I was an honouree on the prestigious Forbes ‘30 Under 30’ list 2023 and in 2022 I was elected to become a member of The Royal Society of British Artists. I have won multiple art prizes including The UK New Artist of The Year Award 2022 and The Hermione Hammond Drawing Award 2023.
I’ve been on the judging panel for the Signature Art Prize 2022, The Royal Society of British Artists Annual Open 2023 and the UK New Artist of the Year 2023. Being able to see the perspective of art prize judges has also offered me invaluable insights.

I had no guidance at the start of my career when I started exhibiting my work in 2015. In the proceeding years I often felt disillusioned with the industry and at several moments over the years nearly quit. Thankfully, I was able to somehow self motivate during my lowest moments and I was eventually able to realise what had and had not been working for me on my journey.

With the clarity of hindsight, I can now clearly outline the steps I took that have resulted in me being able to sustain a career as a full time artist since 2019. I know all too well that it can be frustrating knowing where to start or if you’re on the right track early on. The process of cultivating a professional art practice is too often spoken of in vague abstract terms lacking substance. The mentorship course will demystify the process of becoming a professional artist through three online sessions, where I will be providing detailed and practical advice from my own experiences.

The professional art practice mentorship will be in the form of three Zoom meetings, which will last around one hour with time allocated for questions at the end of each session. The spaces on the course are limited to a maximum of 16 participants.

The cost of the course, which is made up of three sessions, is £200 in total or £175 if you purchase by August 15th.

The course breakdown can be seen below:

Session 1: Building your Online Presence and finding opportunities.
-CV, Statement, Website ,Working with Online Galleries, Finding the right opportunities

Session 2: Becoming a Fulltime artist.
-Applying to open calls, marketing, Social Media, Mailing List & Cultivating relationships with collectors, selling work

Session 3: Being a Fulltime artist.
-Networking, Gallery Representation, Funding, Residencies, Self Employment

The course runs weekly, in a 3-week block occurring in September and October

Session 1: September 2nd Monday 7pm (GMT)

Edward Mitchell Bannister (1828-1901) was a prominent Black artist who was born in New Brunswick, Canada, and lived in Providence in the last decades of his life. He was the first artist of color to win a national art award when he received First Prize at the Centennial Exposition of 1876 in Philadelphia, and he went on to help build Providence into a New England cultural center, becoming a driving force in establishing the Providence Art Club in 1880.

The Bannister Community Art Project and Bannister Gallery at Rhode Island College are seeking professional artists to participate in and create new artwork for an exhibition that responds to Edward Bannister’s life and artwork. We welcome broad interpretations of the theme and a variety of artistic media.

An exhibition in the fall of 2025 will take place in Bannister Gallery and feature existing artworks and at least one new artwork from each participating artist. Artists that are selected will receive an honorarium of $1,000. Finalists will be selected by jurors and members of the Bannister Community Art Project Exhibition Committee.

The focus of Bryn Du’s Artist in Residence program is to enhance local awareness and engagement in the arts by introducing new and varied artists to the Granville community throughout the calendar year. Equally important, the Bryn Du Artist in Residence program will provide an inspirational setting for the creation of artistic works by one artist at a time, of any discipline, over an 8 or 12 week time frame. While in residence, the chosen artist will reside in the Cramer House, the renovated laundry building designed for Artists in Residence, behind the Bryn Du Mansion. Artists may be in any stage of their career to apply and participate in a Bryn Du residency.

Residencies at Bryn Du are open nationwide for artists of all disciplines to apply including but not limited to those in the fields of visual arts, literature, music, theatre, fashion, dance, storytelling and audiovisual studies. Residencies are available in the Winter (January-March), Summer (June-August) and Fall (September-November). Upon applying, artists will specify which seasons they may be interested in and if they prefer an 8 or 12 week residency. The application window is open from June 1 through August 31 for residencies in the following calendar year. There is a $15 non-refundable application fee.

All Artists in Residence are expected to provide a minimum of 2 community engagement activities per month which will be agreed upon by Bryn Du and the artist prior to the residency. Examples might include a community poetry reading, performance on the outdoor stage, artist talk or gallery show. Bryn Du is open to lots of ideas and will happily work with accepted artists to determine engagement activities that are enjoyable to the artist, may advance his or her journey, and engage the community.

In addition to a space equipped with everything you need, we also offer training in the different techniques that we carry out when we opened the studio. It doesn't matter that you don't have experience, the important thing is that you want to learn.
At the end of the residency, we offer the possibility of selling the works through our virtual gallery, as well as publishing the work on our social networks.

The studio has all the necessary machinery and tools to work on engraving and printing techniques.

Residency awards are 2-8 weeks in length and include a weekly $175 stipend. In addition, residents receive their own private bedroom, bathroom, and studio.

This is a call for visual artists to apply for a five week virtual artist residency, resulting in solo installations which will transform unconventional film venues throughout the town of Columbia, MO, USA in a celebration of artists, films, music for the True/False Film Fest 2025.

We are looking for emerging and mid-career artists and encourage applications from artists who may identify as underrepresented in the traditional art world (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, and parents/caregivers).

The virtual residency will provide our visual artists a platform for cultural exchange, networking, and creative exploration, allowing artists to connect and collaborate regardless of geographical constraints, culminating in an in-person exhibition of their art installations during the 2025 T/F Film Fest.

The City of Napa invites artists to participate in the 2024 Napa Dia de los Muertos. Artwork is open to outdoor sculpture, installation art, altars and puppetry and art/craft vendors related to Dia de los Muertos. Interested participants are encouraged to submit a proposal of current work or a proposal to display as part of the celebration of Dia de los Muertos.

Artists are invited to display artworks that share their own history, culture and traditions that are related to the Dia de los Muertos. This opportunity is open to artists residing or working in AZ, CA, CO, NM, NV, OR, UT, ID or WA. All backgrounds and cultures are encouraged to apply. The 2024 Napa Dia de los Muertos will take place Saturday, November 2nd, 2024 from 3- 8pm. Installations, altars and artworks need to be self maintainable and safe for the public.

The artwork displays will be located in downtown Napa at various public plazas and parks to create an enjoyable walkable experience for all ages.

Our mission is two-fold: to offer artists the kind of professional support you deserve and to provide the public with interesting, accessible, inclusive, and professional art experiences, including performances, readings, exhibits, and workshops.

OUR COMMUNITY
Surel’s Place believes that artists should be supported at a level commensurate to the value you add to our individual and collective lives. We aim to give you the time, shelter, and professional support your work deserves. In exchange, we ask you to offer art experiences to our community. Garden City values artists and their work, and as a resident, you will be valued and appreciated for the energy, ideas, and dedication that you bring to our city.

OUR PROGRAM
The program is open to professional visual, literary, and performance artists: painters, writers, musicians, architects, filmmakers, and choreographers… any artist who needs a place to focus. However, because of the property’s limitations and proximity to neighbors, this is not a place that can accommodate loud or terribly messy processes, such as welding or blacksmithing.

We favor artists whose work is technically advanced, unique, attractive (need not be pretty!), and conceptually valuable. Work that is predominantly conceptual, that must be explained in order to attract a viewer, may not be met with as much enthusiasm by our jurists. In addition, because we ask our residents to interact with the public through one workshop and one final event, we welcome artists who desire to connect with an audience in these ways.

Additionally, each cycle, one of our five residencies includes outreach to local schools through our PARTNER Schools Program — another way we do our part to serve our community.

Surel’s Place offers month-long residencies in our one-bedroom home with a spacious studio for artists aged 25 and older to focus on their work and their creative processes. free rent free utilities free wi-fi modest living stipend of $100 per week $300 travel stipend use of well-maintained bicycles for transportation free or discounted tickets to art events and movies free marketing via our website, Facebook, targeted emails, online public calendars, and press releases free professional event hosting including catering, curating, and logistics.
