M.A.M.A. Mothers R Making Art

WHAT: The ProCreate Project, the Museum of Motherhood and the Mom Egg Review are partnering for bi-monthly on-line presentations featuring M.A.M.A. – Mothers are Making Art.

WHEN: The 1st and the 15th of each month words and images will highlight the joy and the challenges of being both a mother and an artist.

WHERE: Online is the place! We will host works of art about mothers and mothers-to-be; featuring academic and creative writing in order to promote women internationally and generate cultural exchanges and opportunities.

WHY: We are determined to explore the extraordinary experiences of mothers and how, by means of channeling these new and powerful energies a person can cultivate both motherhood and art. However, support is needed and awareness must be raised to facilitate this process and to finally empower it.

We strive to give voice to all women, make acceptable room for “feelings,” sensations, and interpretations without judgment; we want to make space for mothers in the arts to display their work and move a conversation about “the art of motherhood” forward. LINK to BLOG and Exhibits

The Museum Of Motherhood Pops Up

It's true - We have been working toward this successful evolution for almost 10 years!
The dream will become a reality this September when the Museum of Motherhood, or M.O.M., opens a pop-up space on the Upper East Side of New York City—which will includes exhibits, a performance space and teaching facilities. I am a mom to four, and my work is all about championing mothers. Oh yeah - I am the President and Founder of Mamapalooza, which produces large festivals across the country celebrating moms and was the guitarist and lead singer of a rock band called Housewives on Prozac. Thanks to NOW-NYC for the Susan B. Anthony Award in 2009.

I spoke spoke with Working Mother about the challenges of getting the museum off of the ground, what visitors can expect from the space and why it's about time mothers have a museum to call their own. Full Article.
