Nurturing the Next Generation: Access, Pathways, & Mentorship brings together the Historic Artists’ Homes and Studios (HAHS) a program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation and artist-endowed foundations (AEFs) for a three-day convening reflecting on various opportunities for expanding and preparing the next generation of arts leaders. Grounded in a shared value of equitable practice, this gathering centers the experiences of young professionals, particularly undergraduate and graduate students with financial need and those from backgrounds underrepresented in the arts and within the HAHS and AEF networks.

Organized as an invitational convening, Nurturing the Next Generation: Access, Pathways, & Mentorship focuses on collective knowledge sharing, community practices, and peer connections within HAHS and AEF networks. This convening will consist of a day of panel sessions bookended by two days of site visits, along with various networking opportunities.
