about the programme

The Artists Circle is a community-led mentorship programme designed for young people with alternative lifestyles who are building careers in the arts. It creates a structured but organic space where emerging artists are surrounded by older peers who invest in you genuinely, not transactionally.

Facilitated by Made to Move, a Culture Infrastructure Studio, and supported by *SCAPE, The Artists Circle applies design thinking methodology to help you think critically about creative career longevity.

Rather than one-off workshops, this is a 9-months-long ecosystem of low-effort, high-impact touchpoints that compound over time.

What you’ll walk away with:
→ A clearer picture of where you’re heading
→ A career framework that fits your life
→ Real relationships with people who’ve walked the path
