“Mentors: Collaboration and Inspiration” is an art and poetry exhibition celebrating the enriching dynamics of intergenerational
co-mentorship, creative influence, and inspiration.

The motivation behind this exhibit is to bring together diverse creative individuals, fostering an exciting energy that propels innovative projects. Through collaborative brainstorming, artists and poets are inspired, encouraged, and introduced to new ways of thinking and creating.

This exhibit creates an opportunity for participants to purposefully explore collaborative efforts across generations or draw inspiration from other creatives and create a community of connections. By doing so, they give and receive energy that enhances their production of unique artwork and poetry.

This was a collaborative invitation. We asked participants to join with another creative, either a fellow artist or poet, or a different kind of creative. It was our hope that the experience would forge meaningful connections and help individuals gain invaluable insights into their creative practices. Their insights will be shared throughout the exhibit as artist statements, on docent tours and receptions.
