Nine Perspectives – 210 Gallery

About the Exhibition

Nine Perspectives brings together new work by nine artists from rural and northern Manitoba who participated in a six-month group mentorship and exhibition program through the Manitoba Arts Network.

The exhibition reflects a wide range of materials, themes, and approaches, while emphasizing cohesion, intention, and professional presentation. Artists were supported in developing bodies of work that speak clearly to their practice, explore consistency across multiple pieces, and prepare their work for commercial and gallery contexts.

Through guided webinars, group critique sessions, and mentorship with Jordan Miller, participating artists engaged in discussions around audience development, branding, pricing, presentation, and writing professional artist materials. The exhibition highlights both individual artistic voices and the shared learning that emerged through this collaborative process.

About the Mentorship Program

The Nine Perspectives mentorship program was designed to support rural and northern artists in building confidence, clarity, and readiness for professional exhibition opportunities.

Participants took part in:

• Online professional development webinars focused on marketing, writing, pricing, and presentation

• Group critique sessions offering peer and mentor feedback on artwork and professional documents

• Exhibition planning and installation guidance

• Opportunities for public engagement and networking

Mentorship was led by Jordan Miller, an artist and educator whose practice and experience informed the program’s focus on sustainability, professionalism, and artistic growth.
