The Artist Mentor Program is designed for artists to uncover their dreams and discover what is blocking them from success, to understand where their art falls among their peers in the marketplace, to bond with fellow artists in weekly studio sessions, and to help artists move ahead with focused tasks that get them closer to their goals.
According to Jon Vencil, evaluation consultant for Nonprofit Management Solutions, there is no comparable program like it in the country. After following the Program for the first three months, Vencil concluded that it has the potential to set the standard for mentor-based art programs in the country.
