Mentors share wisdom and professional skills and provide supportive critique. Each protégée directs the process of selecting her mentor, identifying her goals, and tracking her progress. The Mentor Program is made possible through a grant from the Jerome Foundation.
Exhibitions support the advancement of women in art.
