The COUTURE Diversity Action Council (DAC) has opened its application for the next cohort of mentees to participate in its mentorship program. The DAC mentorship program runs approximately 2 years, with participating designers offered the chance to attend COUTURE in an observational capacity in their first year. The subsequent year, there is the possibility of exhibiting their collections on COUTURE’s show floor, guided by their mentors and the community at large. “Our DAC mentorship program aims to identify the best and brightest of BIPOC talent and utilize our combined resources to provide the education, access and information necessary for their success,” noted Eric Ford, Precious Jewelry Buyer for Neiman Marcus and head of the DAC.
If you are a BIPOC designer of fine jewelry and are interested in applying for the DAC mentorship program, please fill out the below application by no later than October 8. You will be notified by mid-October if you’ve been selected for further review.
