Emerging Artists Mentorship Program

A 12-week mentorship program for youth aged 13–15, providing aspiring young artists with the opportunity to learn directly from professional local artists in a supportive studio environment.

​

Each week, participants will work alongside a different mentor artist who will introduce a new medium, technique, or creative process while sharing their own artistic journey. The program will encourage experimentation, creative thinking, and self-expression while helping youth build confidence and connections within the local arts community.

​

The program will conclude with a public exhibition in the Southampton Arts Annual - Feast for the Eyes Youth Exhibit, celebrating the participants' work alongside pieces by their mentors, giving young artists the experience of exhibiting in a professional gallery.
