South Central ArtsWORK Indiana is presenting a series of free training events on arts mentoring this fall for emerging artists, performers, and writers with a disability of any kind (including intellectual disabilities) in the greater Bloomington area. Attendees will participate in three brief sessions with hands-on exercises to help them understand what arts mentoring is, how it works, and how it can help them achieve their goals as artists.
At this time, there is no area program established to match emerging artists with disabilities with an experienced artist-mentor. The purpose of the trainings is to set the groundwork for such a program by defining what local needs it could meet, and by identifying and preparing individuals who might participate as mentees (attendance at the trainings does not require nor guarantee a commitment to future participation in a mentoring program).
Target audiences include individuals who:
*Have an arts-related interest or skill they wish to develop;
*Live in Monroe or surrounding counties;
*Are age 18 or older;
*Have a disability of any kind; and
*Can attend all 3 training sessions.

To register, complete and submit the registration form and pre-workshop questionnaire by SEPTEMBER 1, 2012. It is not possible to register for individual events, just for the series. Space is limited; participation is first come, first served. By September 10th, we will confirm that a place for the registrant is successfully reserved.
