The Association of Artist Managers (AAM) is running its hugely popular Manager Mentor Program for the fourth time this year, which aims to match mid-tier and emerging Aussie artist managers with established managers for a 12-month mentorship.
Applications for the latest round are now open until COB this Thursday which sees AAM team with industry conference Face The Music to deliver workshops and opportunities for applicants.
Successful mentees will get the opportunity to be flown to Melbourne from anywhere in the country to meet their mentor and undergo a management workshop (as well as three nights accommodation in town) and attend The Age Victoria Awards and Face The Music.
