Mentor Session
Please arrive 5 minutes early for your mentor session. During this time you will be able to set up your materials.

Please bring a portfolio of your work, marketing materials and anything you would like the mentors to look at. Printed images are suggested; we will not have slide lights, so slides will be very hard to read. We prefer that you bring images and not the actual pieces.

Artists and galleries are assigned to mentors on a first come first serve basis. Artists and galleries are not assigned to mentors based on medium. All mentors are qualified to mentor any artist or gallery on their business needs.
