Catapult + Adelaide Fringe applications are now open, and close 18 August 2025, 9am.
The Catapult + Adelaide Fringe mentorship provides a 6-month funded opportunity for a South Australian visual artist, craftsperson or designer. Guildhouse Catapult mentorship programs provide creative professionals with essential funding and support to develop their artistic practice through a meaningful mentorship.
The Catapult + Adelaide Fringe mentorship will culminate in a public program, presentation of new work or performance as part of the 2026 Adelaide Fringe. This opportunity aims to enrich the artist’s professional and creative development through dedicated time spent with their chosen mentor.
The selected applicant will receive $7,500 administered by Guildhouse:
- Mentee/mentor fees (including superannuation) of $5,000
- Presentation fees (including registration fee and venue hire) of $2,500
Building on from a strong history of successful mentorships, this Catapult round continues to focus on applications that provide long-lasting impacts on the recipient’s professional practice. Catapult mentorships have supported a diverse range of artists and learning outcomes, each with an ambitious drive to build on existing skills to further develop professionalism and sustainable creative practice. Robust connections between mentee and mentor, plus clear goals, have proven crucial for meaningful outcomes.
Catapult + Adelaide Fringe is presented in collaboration with Guildhouse and the Adelaide Fringe Foundation – Arts Unlimited.
