saw this and thought it might be of interest
This is an open international invitation for women visual artists who have actively renegotiated their identities as artists, mothers, women.
This call is for women at all stages of their lives and work as artists and mothers. All and any level of training accepted, entries will be judged on the strength of work presented and the strength of written statements. The purpose of this book is to highlight the creativity of creative women before, during, and after the identity changing time of motherhood.
The focus is on the realities and challenges of creating an identity outside of motherhood, integrating motherhood, and the role of our identities as artists in this process. Submissions are encouraged to be individual, creative, and idiosyncratic.
This book will feature and profile 250 women from the visual arts. Areas accepted: Ceramics (pottery/functional and sculptural); Sculpture; Painting & Drawing; Printmaking; Photography; Metals/Jewelry; Installation; Mixed Media and Intermedia.
