We are excited to announce the launch of the Creative Spaces Mentoring Network (CSMN) 2025! This year’s program will be offered over 7 months, and is designed to connect artists, arts managers, and community leaders responsible for creative spaces in Ontario. CSMN is an amazing opportunity to gain insight and guidance when overcoming challenges and developing your creative space. Participants will be matched with mentors who have specialized experience in arts leadership and capital-related projects. Together, you’ll work on specific issues identified by the mentee to help grow, renew, or develop creative spaces.
Program Highlights:
- Virtual One-on-One Mentorship: Monthly, 2-3 hour sessions with an experienced arts professional.
- Webinars: Three informative webinars – Kick-Off, Mid-Program, and Wrap-Up – for networking and sharing knowledge.
- Peer Engagement: Connect with like-minded peers and share resources to foster growth in the arts sector.
