Propel Youth Arts WA and The Lester Prize are proud to partner once again to present a Visual Arts Mentorship program for young BIPOC artists held as part of the Youth Week WA KickstART Festival. We’ve taken away traditional barriers around visual arts and designed this program specifically for young BIPOC visual artists to develop their art practice. During the 2-day intensive mentorship, a small group of young participants will get to learn from professional artists from diverse backgrounds, including Yabini Kickett, Sid Pattni, Rhys Paddick, and Annie Huang.
Moorditj Mural Masters is a 3-day workshop for young First Nations Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people (16 years and over) to learn about mural painting from artist Jade Dolman.
