Professional Development. A reminder that we soon will be calling for applications for the 2007 Emerging Curator Program and the 2006 Craft Mentorship program Under the Professional Development Program CAST Touring provides funds for the annual Emerging Curator Exhibition. This is a rewarding year for the successful applicant that not only culminates in an exhibition and production of a catalogue, but involves a variety of other opportunities to become involved in CAST’s activities. These include a position on our Gallery Programming Committee and a mentorship on the CAST board. It also provides many young artists with an opportunity to promote their artwork to a curator. If you are interested in this year-long opportunity please call us at CAST to discuss you application. The 2006 Craft Mentorship program will be conducted later this year as part of the ongoing Australian Government’s Young and Emerging Artists Initiative. The program provides funds to assist a young craft practitioner through a 12 week mentorship. This self-initiated mentorship provides a living allowance for the recipient and a mentor's fee for the duration of the program. We will be calling for applications in June so if you are involved in a craft-based practice and would like to apply, please call the CAST Office for more information.
