Young people living in regional NSW who are looking for a career in the arts and creative industries are invited to apply for Horizons, a new state-wide project of mentorships and career development.
The project will run over 18 months and will support 75 young people from across regional NSW wanting to pursue a career in the creative industries.
Regional arts development organisation Arts OutWest is one of the 15 regional organisations offering the program across the state.
“Arts OutWest is excited to provide this opportunity to regional young people aged between 16 and 27 years,” said Arts OutWest executive director Kylie Shead.
“Whether they have prior experience in the creative industries or are just starting their journey, their dedication and passion is what we’ll be looking for,” Ms Shead said.
Participants will be paired with experienced mentors from their chosen field to address the needs and interests of each individual. The mentors will support them to connect into a network of peers and build strong state-wide networks early in their careers.
“Our aim is to provide participants with new pathways to explore work and study pathways in the creative industries,” Ms Shead said.
Expressions of interest are now open and close Friday 10 November 2023.
“If you are ready to embark on an inspiring journey of personal growth and learning we are thrilled to invite you to participate in this dynamic and transformative youth project,” Ms Shead said.
