Starting in July 2024, this Award is designed to provide space and support during the period between education and professional life, with a collaborative one-to-one mentoring relationship.

The Mentoring Award is for two painting graduates, who will each be mentored by an A.P.T artist member, with exhibiting opportunities across the year.   The Mentoring Award will benefit the mentees by helping them develop their practice and broadening their experience within a working studio-community/gallery-complex.
