One-to-One Mentoring with Stryx Directors




Take the next step in your creative journey with a one-to-one mentoring session with a Stryx Director.

These sessions are for emerging and established creatives, artists and grassroots organisations who need dedicated time to step back, look at where they are, and work out what comes next.

The 2.5-hour session can focus on your creative practice, professional development, a specific project, business development, or building a clear plan with realistic milestones.

Together, we’ll look at your experience, current work, ambitions and what you want to achieve. Depending on what you need, this could include a portfolio review, artist statement feedback, discussing a new project, developing a business plan, identifying opportunities, or working through challenges that are holding you back.



We can also support you with project development, writing bids and building realistic budgets for delivery.

The Stryx Directors bring years of experience of working with artists, developing creative organisations, delivering publicly funded programmes and building partnerships. We’ll share practical knowledge, honest feedback and industry insight, as well as relevant networks, resources and opportunities where we can.



Since 2012, supporting artists and creating opportunities for creative development has been at the heart of Stryx. We understand that every artist and organisation is at a different stage, so the mentoring is tailored around what you actually need.

You can expect an honest and supportive conversation, practical advice and a clearer idea of your next steps.

We recommend choosing the number of sessions based on your needs. For some people, one session will be enough to work through a specific issue or develop a plan. Others may benefit from a small number of sessions over a longer period to support progress and keep momentum.
