MAI ( Montréal, arts interculturels) launches the third edition of its Guidance and Mentoring Service, designed to help artists and artistic organizations coming from cultural communities to grow as artists and administrators of their work.
Recognized for its ability to make strong ties between artists, partners, and communities, the MAI has already guided over a hundred artists who have profited from occasional, short, and long term services.
In particular, the MAI advises artists in visual and performing arts, we give administrative help (eg : assistance in applying for grants, budget making, accounting), offer technical support (eg : lighting design), promote shows, and publish books and multimedia tools linked to art projects. All in all, the MAI’s service packages are tailored to the needs of each artist.
Each year, 5 projects are chosen for the Guidance and Mentoring Service in the short and long terms. Submissions are studied by a selection commitee and every candidate is required to:
§ Be an artist or a non-profit organization
§ Work in the field of art
§ Be an art professional or soon-to-be art professional
§ Come from a cultural community
§ Live in Montreal
In keeping with the mandate of the MAI, projects must have an intercultural theme.
The deadline for project submissions for the season 2007-2008 is : August 15, 2007
For more information about the program (required documents, selection criteria, etc.), we invite you to visit our website www.m-a-i.qc.ca or contact Patrick Campbell, Activity and Guidance Service Coordinator, by calling (514) 982-1812 ext. 222.
