Jen Mann, "In Studio," 2018

Island Mountain Arts is pleased to announce Lisa Milroy (http://www.lisamilroy.net) and Jan Mann (http://www.jenmann.com) as the mentors for this summer’s Toni Onley Artists’ Project (http://imarts.com/about-toap/).

Limited to a maximum of twenty participants working in any medium, artists spend nine days in Wells, BC working in the IMA studios under the mentorship of outstanding art practitioners. The project is an opportunity for emerging and professional artists to step out of their own studio and into IMA’s shared studio space and work in an experimental, exploratory and risk-taking manner. This is a juried program and artists must apply in order to be considered. A scholarship and bursary program is available for artists to attend the project (deadline May 1).

The powerful learning and exploration that I experienced at the Toni Onley Artists’ Project is still paying dividends to the work that I create in my studio. The nine days of intensive art making in Wells, BC provided me with this opportunity. Working and sharing in the intimate studio settings with other artists was inspiring. Twenty four hour access to the studio, pertinent lectures and impromptu meetings were essential to the intensive learning experience that I would recommend to all up coming and professional artists.
