Membership Program 2023 Mentors
CAL's mentorship program is designed to increase accessibility to meaningful engagement with the arts for underserved populations, specifically High School artists, in the Columbia area community. Selected student artists are paired with a working professional artist mentor in their desired media category, and with their guidance and support, each student is expected to develop a small portfolio of work that reflects their exploration of a concept or theme. We are so excited to see what they can create together!
