MAAP Media Art Mentorship Program

MAAP - Multimedia Art Asia Pacific is calling for applications from young and emerging curators and artists working with a focus in media art projects that intersect or consider connections with the Asia Pacific regions to undertake a three-month mentorship.

The mentorship enables an emerging artist or curator to explore new creative directions, increase knowledge of networks, debates and to expand practical skills. Applicants are invited to select a mentor and develop a program of activity spanning a three-month period. The mentor may be accessed locally, nationally or internationally. In some cases MAAP can assist identifying suitable mentors.
