The 2025 AMP is exclusively for visual artists and requires a four-month commitment from January 1st - May 30th, 2025.

An in-person orientation will be held on a Sunday in mid-January to kick off the program. 

Throughout the course of the program, participants will attend monthly in-person group meetings featuring presentations, panel discussions, breakout sessions, artwork critiques, and independent assignments—all designed to promote ongoing growth and development.

These group meetings will take place once a month on Sunday mornings or early afternoons, from February to May. 

In between the group sessions, mentors and mentees will meet individually, either in-person or virtually, to address specific mentee needs and further explore topics from the group meetings.

The program will culminate in a final in-person art exhibition and artist reception in May 2025, offering participants an opportunity to showcase their work and engage with the community.
