🔸🔹🔸 Pollinator International Mentorship Programme Participant 2026 🔸🔹🔸
I am really excited to have been accepted onto the upcoming cohort of the Pollinator International Membership programme. Big thanks to the artist Fionnuala Quinn for thinking of me and putting this opportunity on my radar.
The upcoming cohorts for this programme will be meeting each Friday for the month of May and I am excited to see how this all unfolds. See what the organizers have to say about the programme below.
”Pollinator's program is like a virtual residency of mutual support. Once enrolled, they match you with a cohort of aligned peers who we'll meet with weekly. They handle all the logistics, their artist-designed platform and conversation prompts will help us build trust, real relationships, and a deeper network of mutual support.
Participants are alumni, cultural workers, or leaders of organizations in our vetted network.
Each participant is placed in a curated group with up to seven other participants. Cohorts are determined by career stage, identity-based affinities, location, alumni status, and more.
Once a week, participants will join other members of their cohort via secure video calls on Pollinator's artist-designed platform. Roundtable-style conversations are guided by prompts that aim to build group trust, collaborative relationships, and creative momentum.
After their 2025 pilot, nine out of ten participants said their program helped expand and deepen their network. Many shared other ways the experience benefited them—including creative breakthroughs, new collaborative projects, invitations to solo exhibitions, and more.”
