Nextfest is happy to bring back our One-on-One Mentorship Program for the 2024 festival! Do you have an artist in your field you've been dying to meet? A burning desire for some specific and personal guidance in your artistic discipline? Seeking a chance to build some industry connections? Then this is the program for you. This program will cover a wide spread of disciplines including the worlds of theatre, music, film, dance, visual arts and whatever other artistic discipline you are interested in. There is no cost to you for the program and the one-on-ones would happen around May and June of 2024.
If you sign up for the mentorship program, we will connect you with the artistic mentor of your choice for an hour-long one-on-one chat, either in-person or virtually. Don't have a specific person in mind? No worries! Tell us what disciplines/practices/skills you want to learn more about and we can refer you an artist from the community. You can ask them about specific practices in your field, how to make a career in that field etc. Please make sure you come prepared with questions ahead of time!
Sign up as early as possible as spots are limited it and submitting this form is not a guarantee of a spot in the program. Additionally, by being with the program, you would become an artist with Nextfest and would receive an artist pass to attend the festival running from May 30th-June 9th for FREE!
This is your chance to the pick the brain of an artist of your choice and talk about your hopes and dreams with someone making their own a reality! Please sign-up by Monday, May 20th to receive priority for a slot.
