SHAC Incubate – established women artists mentoring emerging female future artists
A programme to develop creative mentoring relationships with collaborative enquiry, cross art form works, creative workshops for artists and general public, performances and an exhibition of new collaborative work produced.
Community, Culture, Collaboration, Celebration
Following the Success of SHACtivate! 2019, SHAC Incubate programme was a series of activities to develop creative mentoring relationships begun during the SHACtivate! Launch programme. The Incubate programme included over 3 weeks of collaborative enquiry, developing cross artform new works with each mentor/mentoree couple, delivering creative workshops online for artists and general public, performances streamed live and an exhibition curated of collaborative work produced in a virtual online gallery with the room sheet available online to have more detail about the work.
SHAC Incubate responded to the current Corona virus challenge with our emerging and established female talent engaging online audiences with different minds and art forms, learning more about female artists’ backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. All produced to online audiences due to the current Corona virus epidemic and government regulations.

SHAC presented a platform where women’s art and voices can be represented, sharing views with others and expanding the conversation about where we are now in the arts. As the gov regulations changed during the project, allowing groups of 10 people, we were able to have the artists attend the exhibition launch and talk about their work, keeping socially distanced.

SHAC’d up to help each other
May 15, 2020 · by Your Herald · in Arts.
CLOSED galleries and cancelled events have had a particularly harsh impact on WA’s emerging artists, who often lack the ‘name’ to get exposure in what’s been a big rush online.
To try and combat the problem, Fremantle’s Sustainable Housing for Artists and Creatives has taken its Incubate mentoring program for female artists online.
Live streamingUsing online workshops, live streaming and virtual galleries, the program teams SHAC’s established artists with up-and-comers to give them tips on how to get their work noticed.
SHAC Incubate coordinator Rachel Riggs said they used a grant from Fremantle council to take the program online as the doors of studios and galleries closed around Fremantle.
“I wanted to use that funding to give some artists some kind of small income in these times as many artists have lost all their income,” Ms Riggs said.
She said SHAC focussed on encouraging emerging artists who worked across different art forms, saying it was important to help the next generation along.
Ms Riggs said once the Covid-19 crisis had eased, SHAC wanted to hire out low-cost spaces for artists and creatives within the gallery and workshop at its White Gum Valley base.
“SHAC is about to launch a new membership program, once we get through this, we are actively seeking new members, of artists of all ages,” she said.
Emerging visual artist Micaela Miller has been mentored by 50-year veteran Lynne Tinley through the program, the pair bonding over a shared love of the environment.
Ms Miller said governments and society should be more open to recognising creative work as a ‘real job’ and to translate it into the economy.
“We definitely need more funding; we definitely need it to be a priority not just a novelty,” Ms Miller said.
Ms Riggs’ daughter Rebecca is an emerging sound artist taking part in the program, and she reiterated the call for more government support for arts industries.
“All my work as a freelance emerging artist got cut, apart from this one – which is fantastic,” she said.
With social distancing rules still limiting gatherings to 20 people from May 18, and most venues limited in their ability to host larger groups anyway, Ms Riggs said she and her cohort are still uncertain when they’ll be able to perform or engage in collaborative projects again.
“We as artists still want to contribute to the community and in these difficult times the arts and creativity are really important for people’s wellbeing and the community.”
