We can be your sounding board! For artists, for organisations, looking to create.
Since 2017 we’ve spent a lot of time, listening, generating ideas, co-creating in communities and we realised something. Most people just need some encouragement and a sounding board to get an idea off the ground; and we like that role! We’ve talked to individual artists, groups, community leaders, councils, housing associations, landscape architects, urban planners, football fans to name a few and the crossovers and multi layered, rich, eclectic diverse conversations that naturally occur encourage exciting ideas. These ideas and thoughts lead to collaborations and a broader outlook to where art can go.
From January 2024 we want to open this up and offer mentoring slots to you. Whether you’re an individual, or a group, co-op, artist, council, institution and want to bounce some ideas around and get another set of eyes and ears on them. We can offer mentor/consultation sessions.
Sessions will be delivered by our founder, Jayne Lawless. Jayne has a background in sculpture, gaining an MFA in 2010 and has made largescale installations, wall sketches, co-created in film and most recently a book. As well as countless community projects and exhibitions including founding Dead Pigeon Gallery and North End Sketch Club and working on projects in the UK, Europe and the USA.
Rates:
- based on Artist Union England pay guidance
- Starting from £40 p/h for individuals £174.00 per ½ day for groups/institutions
- If funding isn’t available we will be able to offer a small number of slots via our wonderful donations via our Patreon page.
