Mara Vlatkovic “There are a lot of things that are very specific to immigrant artists that prevent them from achieving their goals of artistic success,” Hogan adds. “Someone can be quite known in their country of origin and come to a city and realize, 'All the approaches I succeeded at in my home country don’t translate over here.' Or they’re not connected to the folks who are making things happen.” When the program started in New York, it included ten mentee/mentor pairs. Over the years and under the direction of a team at NYFA made up entirely of immigrants, it expanded the number of artists it serves. Starting in 2017, the program was exported to cities including Detroit, Oakland and San Antonio; 2021 will be the first year the program is offered in Denver.
