The Joslyn's Kent Bellows Mentoring Program

Studio Assistant and Arts Management Mentor

As the Studio Assistant at this art mentoring program, my job is to fill in the gaps and provide help where it is needed. From helping maintain the studio space, to working with mentees to bring their projects to life, and other day to day operations. 

As the Arts Management Mentor I work with the mentees on developing professional practice skills to help them feel more comfortable navigating the art world. We learn how to plan an event, install a show, write proposals and more.




Director of this semi-trailer turned gallery entails many different jobs. I work directly with artists putting together installation and engagement based shows as well as maintain the gallery space, coordinating transportation of the gallery to events, and put my creative problem solving to use regularly.

As Green Team Manager, I work to build community through leading weekly neighborhood cleanups. I also help plan educational activities centered around sustainability, and weigh in on the overall sustainability and beautification efforts of BFF Omaha and the Benson Neighborhood.

As plot leader, I am one of the head people looking after the plot. This entails staying on top of the watering schedule, planting and harvesting crops, as well as overall maintenance of the space. I also work to organize group work days and help instruct volunteers on these work days.
