Springboard 2022: A Year in Review
The Arts Foundation Springboard programmed aims to kickstart sustainable arts careers for artists at a formative stage of the journey. The programme offers a year of funding and mentorship from an experienced senior artist – but what does that year of creative impact actually look like? We caught up with our 2022 Springboard duos to find out how it went!
