Our friends at Burnaway organize an Arts Writers Mentorship Program, in an effort to develop voices of emerging art writers.

Program applications are due May 20-June 3, for a 6-month program (one day per month beginning July 16 and running through December, 2016).

Participants will learn a variety of skills including analyzing, interpreting and evaluating art; learning to write for diverse audiences; and how to pitch ideas to publishers. If you are interesting in peer-to-peer reviews and critiques, mentoring sessions with national and local writers and critics, and developing a writing portfolio, this program is for you. After all, Charlotte needs more voices – more critical voices – if we want to really progress and become the cultural destination we so wish to be.
