FORMAT
The sessions will be 50 mins long and applicants must bring a print or copy of their work to be reviewed on the day and are asked to include a short synopsis. The review/ mentoring session will include a critical response to artworks and projects along with advice on a practical and artistic level. The sessions can also be opportunities to ask for professional development advice. The reviews will take the format of the first 15 mins for the reviewer to look through the work and the remaining 35 mins of feedback, discussion and mentoring.
