ART Ahead Mentorship Program by Almost Real Things
We always think about the career boosts we feel whenever someone takes an interest in Almost Real Things and goes out of their way to teach us something new, instead of us falling flat on our face 100 times to figure it out ourselves.
We've learned a lot since we started 7 years ago and wanted to give some career-boosting lessons to others! So we pitched Mighty Swell with the idea and were overjoyed to hear they loved it and were willing to support with their give-back program.
We put out applications for ART Ahead, our first ever mentorship program, back in April and ended up with a group of six amazingly passionate and talented artists who wanted to take their career to the next level:
/ crypticenigma1
/ @hailey_gearo
/ @felipegomezart
/ @blavdraws
/ @piraniprints
/ @stallmanartworks
Over the following three months we really bonded with them and poured out as much knowledge as we could, bringing in a series of wonderful guest mentors to teach about their expertise:
Lily Calo of / canvasatx
/ marcellaispainting
/ javi_glz
/ thereallaurenlight
/ amirocks74
/ kris_san13
/ noemiszyller
