COTFA

In May 2015 to May 2016, we posted an interview with one artist mother per week to see how having children has impacted their art making and creativity. What followed was inspiration, candidness, generosity, and practical advice. 

In 2016, we are looking to all types of artists to see how they find time to create art - some may be parents, others could be retirees, dayjob creatives, late bloomers, etc.

2017-2020 had us focusing on a book project featuring Creativity and Motherhood. “The Motherhood of Art” is now available for purchase here!

The Makers Summit

February 13, 2017

This years Makers Summit is fast approaching and I wanted to pass along some information for you guy before the tickets are all gone!!

My goal last year was to invest in myself and my art as a business.  I decided to really put my money where my mouth is and it paid off. (no pun intended)  The first commitment I made was to attend Makers Summit.  It was the jumping off point for the rest of my year.

The summit includes amazing speakers, this year's line up can be found here.  It was super inspiring to hear successful makers speak about where the came from, how they found success and what they would do differently. (I've applies a lot of this over the past year.)  There is ample opportunity to "mingle".  Great coffee and snack breaks and out of this world craft parties in the evenings.  I got to meet some of my favorite Instagram crushes in person, and some became good friends. 

Once of my favorite parts of the weekend were the break-a-way groups where smaller numbers of attendees get together to discuss a topic and share advice.  There are also workshop that you can choose from to help further your business, social media presence and productivity. 

The summit is so well organized and the speakers are crazy inspiring.  You are surrounded by amazing fellow creatives and get the chance to make some lasting connections.  Run, don't walk to be a part of this year's festivities!! You can get your tickets
