Guest Mentor Session - Jo Harrison

We have a fantastic line-up of Guest Artists delivering 1-to-1 mentoring sessions for visual artists.

1-to-1 sessions are part of the ‘a space’ arts Artist Resources program and offered to visual artists based within the SO postcode and surrounding areas. Sessions are shaped by you and can cover anything from advice on developing a project, how to make a funding application, or general advice and guidance on the next steps in your career.

As part of this program, ‘a space’ arts is excited to welcome back guest arts worker and curator Jo Harrison who will be offering four 1-to-1 sessions across two Mondays in November & December 2024.

To book a 1-to-1 session with Jo, please click on ‘request to book a session’ button at the bottom of the page. This will take you to a typeform where you will be asked a few questions about yourself and what you would like to discuss with a mentor. You can also choose up to two mentors and we will aim to match you with the most appropriate artist.
