Aspiring to reach the Top

No, not a pain.  I understand your thinking on this. I’ll try some of the other thoughts we’ve had.

Hi Tracey

Am I being difficult ?- while M16 looks  really interesting  -but when I read the useless lines blog and discovered that after all this time they are still struggling to pay someone a decent wage to administer the place I wonder if I or anyone else will benefit any.- what I am after is someone who has turned an idea into a well funded  or sustainable reality. Be it from council or any other body. I suppose I am after the dream arts funding or idea that does not exist. The thing that gave me the idea in the first place was watching MREAM on a TV documentary - it was just about to be closed down and they were looking for a new space. Things that spring to mind are the artspace at Parramatta - the Adelaide Jam Factory or indeed any Creative industry initiative that has got off the ground. What is Mr Falsone doing now? I can't find anything on google from a quick glance. Sorry to be such a pain!

Joseph Falsone says he may be interested in mentoring.  He has left M16, but you may find this article interesting...

New mentoring program for creative Central West people

Arts OutWest is giving three people involved in the arts from the Central West the opportunity to be mentored by an expert in their field.

Whether you are a community volunteer needing  guidance on how to deliver projects more effectively, or a professional wanting assistance in moving your arts business up a level, these mentorships are an opportunity to develop your skills, your connections and your

practice.

“Whilst there are focussed training programs available for people in the arts, it has been my experience that one-on-one time with an industry role model is often more suitable and can be of huge benefit,” says Arts OutWest Executive Officer Tracey Callinan.

Selected mentors will be given an introductory session with Arts OutWest on how to make the most of the mentoring program. Arts OutWest will then broker the right mentor for each participant, someone they want to work with.

The local participants will then have time with their chosen mentor, usually two days, either as block time or divided up into short sessions.

Arts OutWest is open to all sorts of arts and creative industry people applying.

Whilst the funding for this first round of the program is small, it will cover costs such as the mentor’s travel and some of the participant’s travel costs as well as a fee for the mentor’s time.

This program has been made possible through funding by Arts Training NSW. There is no cost to the participants being mentored. Applications are open to people living in the Arts OutWest service area.

Anyone interested in being a part of the mentorship program should fill out an Expression of Interest and send it in to Arts OutWest by September 14.
