Sometimes you do not need a full programme. You just need a focused conversation with people who understand the reality of trying to build an artist career.

​

Short Supply offers bookable mentoring sessions for artists, creatives and artist-led organisers who want honest, practical support with where they are, what they are making, and what they might do next.

​

These sessions are not about pretending there is one correct route through the art world. They are about helping you make sense of your options, clarify your direction, and leave with something you can actually act on.

​

We can support with things like:

• working out what to focus on next

• talking through your practice, projects or ideas

• positioning yourself and your work more clearly

• preparing for opportunities, open calls or applications

• making decisions when you feel stuck or overwhelmed

• building confidence around visibility, communication and self-promotion

• thinking through artist-led projects, collectives or early-stage organisations

• finding a way forward that feels realistic, not generic

​

You do not need to arrive with everything neatly worked out. You can come with a specific question, a messy situation, a half-formed idea, or the feeling that something needs to change but you are not sure what yet.
