Mentoring

Kitt provides mentoring for artists, arts workers and arts organisations based on:

​

Social Practice Surgery techniques developed with artist Dan Russell (Social Practice Surgery link here)

Methodologies from Kitt’s enSHRINE project (2020 on, organisational development through collaborative creativity, ACE and AHRC funded)

Their multi award winning practice working as an artist, mentor and consultant with individual artists and arts workers and arts institutions around the UK (Biog here)

Kitt gives subjective advice filtered through their own funny, sad, exciting, worrying and wonderful experiences doing art as a queer, disabled, parent artist. 

Proposing possible ways out of conundrums, over, through and around barriers and gently dismantling obstacles, often using creative activities and approaches.

"I began working with Kitt as I prepared to make an Arts Council England grant application for my project MOTHEROTHER. Their clear and considered advice and guidance assisted me hugely in the application process and I was successful in securing the grant. Always kind, supportive and thoughtful, Kitt is also quick witted, direct and fantastic at holding me to account. Their knowledge and experience, especially with regard to accessibility issues coupled with an open and genuinely caring approach, makes Kitt a wonderful mentor."
Sue Loughlin, artist and founder of MOTHEROTHER, 2023
