The Rural Art Mentorship Program (RAMP) is a partnership between MAWA and the Manitoba Arts Network (MAN) for rural adult artists. This year, the Rural Artist Mentorship Program will be centred in the Westman Region and led by mentor Elvira Finnigan over four weekends. Group meetings will take place at Arts Forward in Neepawa. RAMP will accept six to eight participants working in any visual art medium. Participants will be selected based on artistic merit plus their willingness to commit to the program. Please note commercial or school projects are ineligible.
Group meetings and studio visits will be held in November, February, March and May over two days (Saturday and Sunday). Artists will be expected to devote time to the production and development of their work. Program elements will include: discussion about your art practice, feedback on your work, exploration of the idea of “a body of work”, information regarding professional art practices and advice on exhibition proposals and grant applications. The program will culminate in a exhibition in the Community Gallery at the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba and the possibility of participating in a RAMP touring exhibition.
