The Art Haus SLC is excited to announce a new mentor program directed at High School and College Seniors. This program will assist young artists in film, theatre, and interdisciplinary performance arts by connecting them with a professional in their field working in a major city or artistic hub. The mentors will be available to provide counseling and guidance in the artist's chosen field and to offer feedback on applications and portfolio submissions for colleges, jobs, or grants. Additionally the mentor will be available to provide letters of reference, connections to others working in the artist's particular field, and insights into the development of the student's work. Last of all this opportunity will offer connections to theatre professionals working in Utah, California, New York, Illinois, Texas, London, and Australia.
