Join Our Team of Art Mentors

Empowering Creativity. Building Careers. Changing Lives.

Leah Justyce Art Gallery is expanding — and we’re looking for passionate and supportive artists from across Australia to join us as Art Mentors for NDIS participants.

This is a unique opportunity to turn your creative skills into a rewarding career pathway, while helping emerging artists with disabilities thrive in their own communities.

We are building a national network of Mentors to deliver one-on-one and small-group online art programs designed to support independence, confidence, and creative skill development.

🌟 What You’ll Do

As a Mentor, you will:

✅ Guide participants in creative art activities in your style or speciality
✅ Support their personal and creative goals
✅ Promote independence, communication, and confidence
✅ Create a nurturing, inclusive, and safe learning environment
✅ Provide simple progress notes after each session
✅ Work flexible hours that fit your lifestyle

You do not need therapy qualifications — this is not art therapy. It’s about strengthening practical art skills, creative expression, and connection.

💡 Why This Role Matters

Many artists with disabilities are isolated, under-supported, and miss out on creative opportunities.
Your mentorship can:

🎯 Build real skills for employment
🎯 Improve daily living capabilities
🎯 Support independence and confidence
🎯 Help them pursue their own art goals

You get to be part of a movement making the art world more inclusive — one person at a time. ❤️
