Description

Procreate Project is back with the 3rd edition of the Mother Art Prize 2020, the only international open call for self-identifying women and non-binary visual artists with caring responsibilities.

Its aim is to promote and support artists who are mothers/parents as well as drive the attention of the wider public to a broad-spectrum of themes that would otherwise be overlooked and devalued.

The prize is aimed at artists working in one or more of the following media: painting, drawing, mixed-media, photography, digital art, sculpture, ceramics, installation, textile, sound and video and there are no theme restrictions.

The judging panel is composed by:

Niamh Coghlan, Richard Saltoun Gallery Director
Pauline Desouza, Director of the Diversity Art Forum
Elvira Dyangani Ose, Director of The Showroom and Lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University
Eva Langret, Artistic Director Frieze London
Claire Mander, Chair of Steering Committee of UK Friends of the National Museum of Women in the Arts and Director of theCoLAB
