Artist Mothers Group: One-a-Day Lead-Up with Jocelyn Chorney

  • Wednesday, October 2, 2019
  • 6:30pm – 9:00pm
  • MAWA, 611 Main Street

Don't let a one-a-day project scare you. Lots of different repeatable ideas will be shared that will help you reach your creative goal. We will share fun warm-up exercises to help get the juices flowing. Remember to bring in any artwork you would like feedback on.

The acts and demands of child-rearing are exhausting and challenging. While caregiving, it can feel like we are not taken seriously as artists. Some women give up artmaking completely. Others refuse to choose, believing that artmaking is an oxygen mask one must put on before assisting little ones. The Artist Mothers Group at MAWA extends an invitation to all artist-mothers to come and meet other women who embrace both mothering and artistic production. This peer-based group usually meets on the first Wednesday of each month. Meetings are relaxed and informal. The group experiments with art materials, critiques each other’s work and shares snacks, concerns, ideas, inspiration, strategies and support for those who juggle the tricky life of artmaking and mothering. If you can’t make the meetings, please consider participating in the Artist Mothers at MAWA Facebook page, Artist Mothers at MAWA.

Artist Mothers at MAWA is facilitated by Sandra Brown.

Free! Open to all artist mothers.
