2023 Art Mamas x STONELEAF Residency Recipients

We are thrilled to announce the 2023 Art Mamas Alliance and STONELEAF RETREAT artists-in-residence are Haimy Assefa, Nakeya Brown, Koyoltzintli, and Andria Lo. This second annual cohort was chosen from over 180 applicants. Click here to read more about the artists.

This summer, Haimy Assefa, Nakeya Brown, and Andria Lo will participate in the Group Residency and Koyoltzintli in the Family Residency. Each artist will be given an unrestricted stipend and a week to focus on themselves and their practice. 

This annual program is a partnership between Art Mamas Alliance, a supportive community for parents in the arts, and STONELEAF RETREAT, an artist residency and creative space for women and families. It is made possible by residency application fees, Art Mamas membership dues, and generous individual donors.

The artists' stipends for the group residency have been provided through an innovative partnership with the Sustainable Arts Foundation, for which we are extremely grateful.

We understand that the need for these parent-focused residencies are vast and it’s our hope to increase the support over the years. If you are interested in supporting these efforts, please donate here or reach out directly to hello@artmamas.org.

Art Mamas Residencies at STONELEAF RETREAT 2022

In support of Art Mamas Members in desperate need of a break from the daily grind to focus on their practice, themselves, or a specific project, Art Mamas Alliance and STONELEAF RETREAT created two inaugural residencies this year.

This summer, a Family and a Group Residency, will be held at STONELEAF RETREAT’s 22-acre property in Upstate New York where Art Mamas Members will be provided with time, space, and a modest stipend. 

Lehna Huie is the recipient of the first Art Mamas Family Residency and Aisha Tandiwe Bell, Lucia Cuba, and Joetta Maue will participate in the inaugural Art Mamas Group Residency. Click here to read more about the artists.
