There is no expectation for type or style of work. The common thread is creating art while navigating motherhood. For an artist, making art can feel as essential as food and water, and as natural as breathing. Becoming a parent is the great disruptor, compounded for women who disproportionately take on the load of caregiving duties in our society. How do you show up for yourself in your art practice? How does your art support you?
This show is part of the Taking. Up. Space. initiative with a goal of encouraging women to create opportunities to showcase their artwork amidst an industry that still does not offer equal representation for women. Throughout the month of May, women across the globe are organizing art exhibitions with the support of the Thrive Together Artist Network. This platform offers guidance for putting together an exhibition and promoting it. It is the second year this initiative is taking place. Follow the link for more information:
