Through the support of The Vilcek Foundation, the New York Foundation for the Arts is pleased to announce the participants in the 2017 NYFA Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program: Performing and Literary Arts.
NYFA’s Immigrant Artist Mentoring Program pairs immigrant artists working in a variety of disciplines with artist mentors who provide one-on-one support for their artistic practice. During the program, mentors will guide their mentees to achieve specific goals, providing them with broader access to the New York cultural world through an exchange of ideas, resources, and experiences.
2017 Participant: Mentee Katia Gerlach, Literary (Brazil), paired with Mentor Barbara Fuchs, Interdisciplinary (Austria/France).
