Mentorship Program

The st-Art mentorship program is a tailored course designed for artists aiming to develop their projects and artistic careers.

Through personalized guidance, participants refine their artistic voices, set goals, and explore strategies for professional growth. The program covers topics like portfolio building, project development, and artist statements, providing valuable feedback and support. Ideal for both emerging and established artists, the mentorship offers a structured pathway to elevate creative projects and establish a strong artistic identity.

We offer mentorship sessions multiple times a week, so you can join in whenever suits you best! Check out our class schedule below.

During the Mentorship Program:

The first session of the Mentorship Program is dedicated to developing a central theme for your series of work. Together, we create a mind map to help conceptually plan each piece and its place within your collection. From there, we guide you in finding artists and references to research, tailored to your unique style and subject matter.

  • Get an analysis and comments on your existing artwork

  • Learn how to conceptualize and plan a series of work with mind maps and mood boards

  • Refine your personal art style, and develop new techniques as needed

  • Join a WhatsApp Group with the st-Art mentors where you can get feedback on your collection anytime

  • Assistance pricing, exhibiting, promoting, and selling your collection
