Wednesday, September 30th, 2020: HELLO ART MAMAS!
Since April, we’ve hosted an intimate Art Mamas group online. Every week, we held space for each other—connecting, sharing, listening, and supporting through the compounded crises of 2020.
This fall, we are extending this group to a larger community, via monthly Zoom conversations. There is power in acknowledging our existence as parents in creative spaces.
We launch this new series with the incredible Tiana Webb Evans. Tiana is the founder of ESP Group, a brand strategy and communications consultancy supporting international clients across art, design, and hospitality industries. She is also the founder of Yard Concept, an elevation platform focused on multi-layered cultural engagement and cultivating critical consciousness. Tiana is mom to three teenagers.
