About this Webinar 

Re/thinking Mentorship in the Arts for POC is a presentation and workshop that centers the POC experience in navigating mentorship in the arts field. As arts organizations and institutions continue to address issues of racial, gender, and class disparities throughout the field, questions about the importance and practice of mentorship, specifically for communities of color, become increasingly critical. This workshop invites professionals across artistic disciplines to delve into the nuances of mentorship by exploring how it can uplift a person’s career, yet potentially present exploitative dynamics. 

Participants will discuss:

  • Barriers POC face when seeking, retaining, and utilizing mentors
  • The benefits of mentorship for people of color
  • Context of POC mentorship as it relates to access, power, and privilege
