One-on-One for Artists
One-on-one guidance for emerging and mid-career artists
Amor por Juárez offers individualized mentorship sessions designed to support artists in developing a more intentional, sustainable, and professional practice.
Through four one-on-one modules, participants receive personalized guidance on portfolio development, materials and production methods, institutional frameworks, and exhibition planning. This program is reflective rather than prescriptive—each session is tailored to the artist’s unique voice, process, and goals.

This paid program supports the sustainability of our broader mission. Revenue from this initiative directly funds free and low-cost mentorship and cultural programming for Mexican and Latinx artists in the U.S.–Mexico border region—particularly those who face structural barriers to access and professional development. Our goal is to build a more equitable cultural landscape by centering artists whose voices have historically been excluded from institutional support.
Do you identify as an artist from the border region and from an underrepresented community?
Our free group mentorship program launches this October 2025 and includes the same four modules as the paid version. Visit the link below to learn more and apply for the no-cost program designed to support emerging Latinx artists from the U.S.–Mexico border region.
