Transitions
Transitions is a partnered program between Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and Townsville City Galleries, that combines mentorship, critiques and development for emerging visual artist mentees. The mentees work one-on-one with an established North Queensland artist to develop their arts practices, gain valuable insights into working professionally and to begin to forge a career in the arts. They self-define their goals and get support and feedback from their mentor, gallery professionals, guest mentors and their program peers.
The 2024 pairs of mentees and mentors are currently participating. Umbrella and Townsville City Galleries invite you to explore their work below:
Please contact us to join the waitlist for future applicant call outs, or if you wish to ask any questions.
