Artist Mothers at MAWA: Trophy Moms

There is an unspoken assumption that mothers naturally put the needs of others before their own. When mothers take time for themselves or take a break from caring for others, they are sometimes judged as being selfish. As artist mothers we need to carve away some personal space and time for creative development and our professional practice. But before we can accomplish this we need to give ourselves a break. In January we will spend time celebrating our artist mother selves, without judgment. We will create trophies for ourselves from found materials, with Mary Ferguson facilitating. Let’s pat ourselves and each other on the back and recognize all that we have accomplished. Bring your recent art projects for supportive feedback. Artist Mothers at MAWA A drop-in group for artists who are mothers, and mothers who are artists. Each meeting involves group critique of participants’ work and a focused discussion or activity. All artist-mothers welcome. Free!
