Immigrant Arts Mentorship Program (IAMP)
The Immigrant Council for Arts Innovation (ICAI) is excited to announce that our Immigrant Arts Mentorship Program (IAMP) for 2022 is seeking mentors for the second cohort.
IAMP is a program where newcomer professional artists, arts administrators and culture workers can connect, find resources, learn, and establish their practice in Canada through one-on-one mentorship from established Canadian arts professionals. It provides access to the right and reliable information, intentional networking opportunities, unique sector knowledge and thorough guidance for proper career establishment in their new home. Newcomer and immigrant arts professionals may have many challenges when establishing their careers and looking for professional opportunities in the arts field and IAMP aims to bridge this gap through focused professional development sessions and paid mentorship.

Immigrant Arts Mentorship Program (IAMP) is a program that offers mentorship for immigrant and newcomer artists, arts administrators, creative professionals, and culture workers. Newcomer (less than seven years in Canada) artists and arts & culture workers connect, learn, and grow through one-on-one sessions with an experienced local mentor in their artistic discipline or specific field. In addition to the one-on-one sessions, IAMP also offers group professional development sessions throughout the program to help the mentees progress their career. IAMP is a year long program.
Every year, IAMP begins accepting applications for a new cohort of mentees and mentors in April. The ICAI Jury choices for the successful candidates are announced in May/June, with the program running from June to December. The curriculum is always adjusted and updated to help newcomer artists navigate the prevailing issues and trends in the arts.
