Transitions

APPLY NOW FOR 2024

Applications extended until midnight Sunday 21 January 2024.

Transitions is a partnered program between Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and Townsville City Galleries, that combines mentorship, critiques and development for emerging visual artist mentees. The mentees work one-on-one with an established North Queensland artist to develop their arts practices, gain valuable insights into working professionally and to begin to forge a career in the arts. They self-define their goals and get support and feedback from their mentor, gallery professionals, guest mentors and their program peers. Umbrella Studio Contemporary Arts and Townsville City Galleries are now calling for applicants for the 2024 Transitions program.
