Junto:Mentor is a peer-to-peer mentoring scheme for recent graduates, designed to provide a support structure during the daunting and challenging few years following graduation.

Junto:Mentor is run by a small group of artists, who graduated between 2003 and 2007 and have pooled their knowledge and experience within the live, visual and sound art sectors to create various peer support groups within London. It offers a supportive environment to share expectations, fears, hopes and concerns as well as  a chance to meet other artists and expand your network. The focus of each session will be tailored to the particular needs of the applicants – you may want to talk about the practicalities of life after university, critique a particular piece of work or receive general advice about your practice.

In January 2010, Junto:Mentor ran over four weekly sessions at 176 / Zabludowicz Collection, a contemporary art gallery in a Grade II listed 19^th century building in Chalk Farm. With this location in mind, the sessions were focused on the crossover between live and visual art and developing practices in response to specific contexts.

This is the second run of Junto:Mentor.

This first pilot version of this project was developed in partnership with New Work Network, and took place in 2009 at Camden Arts Centre and Live Art Development Agency’s Study Room.
