During the program, each intern will be connected and paired with a mentor. The mentor can be a BTU founder, an artist or an art maker in the industry. The mentor will meet and communicate with you. They will be someone you can ask questions, articulate concerns, and will be a resource during and after the program ends. With that in mind, what type of support are you looking for from the mentorship portion of this program? Is there anything else you would like us to know about you (please keep this to less than 100 words).

Please provide contact information for two (2) references who we may contact if necessary. One reference should be professional (e.g. professor, advisor, teacher) and one should be personal (e.g. classmate, friend, community leader, personal mentor).
