One of the most powerful ways to heighten learning in the arts is to be mentored by a professional artist, technician, teacher or administrator who is willing to share their expertise and experience. An advanced student can, in turn, lead their peers and share their experience by becoming the mentor to a beginning or younger student. Click here for more information.
