Artscape’s Mentorship and Coaching Program is designed to build the capacity of organizations across Canada, and internationally, to develop the strategic, organizational and individual leadership skills to grow an Artscape-like organization and to develop multi-tenanted creative and cultural facilities in their own communities.
Participants benefit from direct access to the experience that Artscape has gained over more than 20 years in developing a portfolio of unique facilities that deliver sustainable and affordable production, rehearsal, exhibition, and living space for creative practitioners, entrepreneurs and organizations.
Mentorship and Coaching Program participants work closely with Artscape’s senior specialist staff led by Tim Jones, Artscape’s President and CEO, in a program that will develop their capacity across a range of areas including:
Our Approach
The Mentorship and Coaching Program is designed to ensure that a comprehensive and tailored program is developed, which will effectively build capacity within an existing or emerging organization. Taking place over a 9 to 12 month period, the program focuses on building leadership capacity in not-for-profits, social enterprises and municipalities. Artscape works with clients to build a custom designed program from a menu of components to suit the needs and priorities of the individual organization.
Artscape maintains a flexible approach to program design, and develops a unique program and schedule for each participant. As the particular needs of each organization are unique, there is no “typical” program design. Artscape will typically work with the organization or municipality to undertake some preliminary assessment before moving forward with developing a formal program.
