PATHWAYS MENTORSHIP

About the Program

PATHWAYS is a holistic mentorship program for emerging BIPOC theatre artists in the Portland metro area. Founded by Minita Gandhi and Melory Mirashrafi in partnership with Advance Gender Equity in the Arts (AGE), PATHWAYS offers artistic enrichment, community building, and leads artists on a “pathway” to professional development built on the values of shared experience, cultivation, and expansion.

PATHWAYS believes in approaching artists as people first and honoring mentorship relationships grounded in shared experience and growth. Built by and for a community of diverse artists, PATHWAYS prioritizes an ethos of safety and connection, and the cultivation of a space where every individual can flourish regardless of access point. All artists are always paid for their time.
