Each year, up to five esteemed VCA alumni artists are paired with high-performing final year Masters of Fine Art students to mentor them and provide connections with galleries.
The awarded students are able to build relationships, experience hands-on industry exposure and nurture more sustainable career pathways beyond formal education. In return, the mentors receive a small stipend, and the chance to interrogate their own practice and renew their relationships with the VCA community.
