Creatives as Caregivers: Balancing Art & Family

October 24 @ 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Join Fresh Arts and HCCC for a discussion designed for artist-parents and caregivers. Panelists will share their unique perspectives on the intersection of art and caregiving. Engage in conversation, share your experiences, and connect with others navigating this shared journey. Attendees are encouraged to contribute their perspectives and resources, fostering a deeper understanding of the challenges and rewards faced by creative caregivers. This is a free event with registration, and childcare will be provided.
This event is hosted in conjunction with HCCC’s fall exhibition, Designing Motherhood, the first show of its kind to consider the arc of human reproduction through a design lens. Designing Motherhood originated in Philadelphia at the Mütter Museum at The College of Physicians of Philadelphia and the Center for Architecture and Design. HCCC’s iteration of the exhibition is the first mounted in the Southern United States and the first to extend the contents to highlight the craft perspective on the topic. Featuring over 60 craft and design objects and prototypes from the past 50 years and the work of more than 20 contemporary artists, the show traverses themes ranging from the DIY culture of parenthood and health activism to reproductive access and equity, parental leave, and the work-life balance of artist-mothers.
Learn more about the exhibition and enjoy refreshments at 5:30, before the panel begins at 6:00 PM.
This event is powered by Fresh Arts in collaboration with the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft and generously funded by the National Endowment for the Arts.
