StART is a mentorship and career development program through which opportunities are created to help emerging artists learn new skills, broaden their networks and showcase their talents. Mentors will respond to ongoing work, providing guidance, feedback and encouragement.
The mentorship culminates into the StART Festival where the work developed through the mentorship is showcased through a wide range of local talent across artistic disciplines.
