Female-identifying photographers listen up.
Orms is celebrating the next generation of women in arts through it's new mentorship programme - Orms Circle.. Launching this women's month, Orms strongly believes that belonging to a network of women can be a re-affirming and powerful form of increasing visibility for women Artists.
The programme will give one young female-identifying artist the platform to break into the art industry, by giving them access to facilities to help them create a body of work to be exhibited in collaboration with Orms in February 2020.
Gemma Mary Sheppard, who is a Social Content Assistant and Photographer came in to speak to us about. She explained how hard it actually is to break into the industry and even once in its still hard to be seen and heard as a female photographer. The industry, like many, is male dominated and that is why this opportunity would benefit the female-identifying artist so much.
The opportunity is available to female-identifying photographer between the ages 18 - 30 years old. Who have not had a solo exhibition but are actively pursuing photography, you will be required to submit a portfolio as part of the applications. No experience or technical training is required.
Apart from the portfolio, the other requirements are that you demonstrate authenticity and a serious desire for the opportunity.
"Persevere and you need to get back up because you will be rejected", is the advice Gemma gave to other women pursuing photography.
To get more details then follow them on social media and you will be able to see the link on there for the Orms Circle opportunity.
Applications close on 13 September 2019.
