How to recognise talent, how to support and develop it? How to guide students meaningfully? When does a pupil become an artist?
Questions concerning passion, obsession, motivation, inspiration and feedback are answered by prominent figures of the Czech art scene who, in their role as mentors in MenART, help talented students and their teachers find their own path.
