Explore creativity and motherhood on the final weekend of popular MassArt x SoWa exhibit.


How do artists balance the demands of motherhood with their creative practice? Through the eyes of 15 exceptional artists, that question is explored in the Matrescence exhibition at MassArt x SoWa.

On Friday, July 12, a panel of nine mother artists, all part of this powerful exhibition, will come together to discuss the challenges artist mothers face, societal expectations of women and mothers, and the invisible labor of parenting. The panel discussion is free to attendees, along with beverages and refreshments.

The discussion will be led by curator Catherine Lecomte Lecce (MFA ‘23) and fellow exhibitor Zahirah Nur Truth. 

Learn more about the exhibit, which concludes on Sunday, July 14, on the MassArt x SoWa site.
