Tasmanian Aboriginal Arts Mentorship Scheme 2023-24

Nindarra Wheatley - $10,000 towards illustration mentorships and skills development with Tasmanian Aboriginal artists

The peers were supportive of applications that clearly spoke to the benefits for the artist as well as the broader Tasmanian Aboriginal community.

• The peers noted that the stronger applications included:
  • names of any artists to be involved/approached or an outline of the processes in place for choosing artists
  • letters of support from any mentors/collaborators
  • a clear and concise description of the activity
• Applicants were encouraged to include context for previous stages of the project (if applicable) or information about how this activity fits into a broader timeline of work.

The peers encouraged applications to future rounds from emerging and early career artists of any age seeking to develop their arts practice and enhance their career progression.

Arts Tasmania carefully manages actual and perceived conflicts of interest for both staff members and peers involved in the assessment process.
