Mentorship Mindset: How Ty Nathan Clark invests in his life long vision of learning and mentoring

Art Biz Talk | E6 | On today's episode we are having a conversation with our friend Ty Nathan Clark, a studio artist and filmmaker based in Waco, Texas. Ty is an avid traveler and frequently hops on a plane to visit museums across the US. An advocate for artists, he developed a unique curriculum for his artist mentorship program where he deep dives with a select group of mentees, studying and building a body of work they are proud of.
