JUMP:: Ment­or­ing Pro­gram for Young Emer­ging Artists

JUMP is a national ment­or­ing pro­gram for artists aged 18–30, who are in the first five years of their pro­fes­sional practice.

JUMP artists are sup­por­ted to under­take a one on one ment­or­ship with a lead­ing pro­fes­sional of their choice, focused on a fun­ded cre­at­ive project.

JUMP artists also access online pro­fil­ing and pro­fes­sional devel­op­ment oppor­tun­it­ies, and sig­ni­fic­antly expand their national net­work dur­ing the 10-month ment­or­ship period.

JUMP is ser­i­ous about cham­pi­on­ing our nation’s next gen­er­a­tion of arts industry lead­ers, and ensur­ing that geo­graphy and cul­tural diversity are no bar­rier to identi­fy­ing and pro­mot­ing artistic excellence.

Sup­por­ted art­forms include Abori­ginal and Torres Strait Islander Arts, Com­munity Arts, Dance, Hybrid/ Inter­dis­cip­lin­ary Arts, Lit­er­at­ure, Music, Theatre, or Visual Arts.

JUMP is sup­por­ted by the Aus­tralia Coun­cil for the Arts, man­aged nation­ally by Youth Arts Queens­land, and delivered in col­lab­or­a­tion with state deliv­ery part­ners, all pro­filed via the links below.

Applic­a­tions for the 2011 JUMP pro­gram are cur­rently open, clos­ing 22 Octo­ber 2010.
