Connecting Artists

Mentoring
We have been working with artists for almost 20 years to mentor and showcase emerging talent. Although this started organically by developing platforms for diverse artists to showcase their talent, we have since worked with several organisations and artists to develop a co-mentoring programme which supports emerging and newly arrived artists through peer support, training, performing opportunities, brokering relationships as well as collecting and distributing information and developing strategic partnerships to increase opportunities for diverse artists.
Platforma Network
Northern Roots are the regional hub for the Platforma Network in the North East. Platforma arts and refugee network supports and develops arts by, about, and with, refugees and migrants from marginalised communities.
