Congratulations to the 11 wonderful Northern Rivers artists who will each be receiving a $600 c.a.s.e. mentorship grant.

We received an excellent response to our call for mentorship grants and a significant number of great applications so we have elected to go with eleven recipients rather than the advertised ten.

We were thrilled to see the diverse range of applicants representing the extensive scope of the arts in our creative region.

We appreciate everyone who invested their time and effort into applying.

Successful mentees
