Toronto, ON, January 5, 2022 – The Association for Opera in Canada announces the second cohort for the RBC Artist Fellowship and Mentorship Program. The program brings together an exceptional group of 10 early-career artist Fellows and 10 mid-career artist Mentors from all facets of opera. Fellows will participate in 1-on-1 mentorship, group workshops and training sessions, life/career coaching, and personalized professional development training, and networking opportunities. This program is about supporting growth, fostering connections, and opening a dialogue.

AOC’s Artist Fellowship is designed to give a voice and agency to the next generation of artists by providing a platform for discovery and skill development. Created by and for early-career artists, the Fellowship program is designed and led by portfolio artist and AOC’s Programs Associate, Jaclyn Grossman. The Fellowship forges a new path for artists in Canada to realize their full potential both in their artistic field and outside of it.

AOC’s Artist Mentorship seeks to give a voice and platform for mid-career artists from all disciplines to share their experience, knowledge, and passion with our early-career artist community.  We aim to build a network of like-minded creative portfolio artists from across Canada in all disciplines of opera. This mentorship is not focused on performing, but helping artists develop other professional skills.
