NYFA Mentoring Program

The New York Foundation for the Arts is entering its third year of the Mentoring Program. There's an Information Session on Wednesday, October 15, 5-7 PM in the NYFA offices at 155 Avenue of the Americas, 6th floor.

You can also contact Andreia Davies, the Immigrant Coordinator, via email at i.outreach@nyfa.org, or via telephone at (212) 366-6900 ext. 322.

The Mentoring Program for Immigrant Artists pairs foreign-born artists with 2008 NYFA Fellows who act as their Mentors for a period of six months, beginning in Janaury 2009, to assist them in gaining broader access to the New York art world. Mentors also help their Mentees achieve a specific goal, such as writing an artist statement, creating a marketing brochure, or completing a grant application. Our goal is to help immigrant artists acquire some of the skills necessary to fairly compete and ultimately succeed as artists.
