Mentorship and Supporting Emerging Artists

Rebecca Wright is a professional visual artist, creative entrepreneur and mentor dedicated to supporting the next generation of artists as they develop sustainable and fulfilling creative careers.


Having built her own successful arts practice over the past decade, Rebecca understands both the creative and practical challenges of working as a professional artist. Alongside exhibiting her own work, she has secured public commissions, delivered hundreds of creative workshops, collaborated with museums, galleries, local authorities and cultural organisations, and developed a thriving creative business. She now shares this experience through one-to-one mentoring, helping emerging artists gain the confidence, knowledge and direction needed to succeed.


Rebecca recently completed her role as Mentor for the Young Artist in Residence programme at Clifton Park Museum, where she supported an emerging artist throughout a year-long residency. The mentorship focused on developing artistic practice, building professional confidence, exploring themes of identity, curating a public exhibition and delivering community engagement activities. The programme demonstrated Rebecca's commitment to nurturing creative talent and empowering artists at the beginning of their professional journey.


Rebecca believes that successful mentoring goes far beyond developing technical skills. Her approach focuses on helping artists discover their unique creative voice while providing practical guidance on navigating the realities of a career in the arts. Every mentoring programme is tailored to the individual, recognising that every artist's ambitions, strengths and challenges are different.
