Mothers Institute for Collaboration and Art (MICA) is a mission-based arts organization dedicated to empowering mothers who are artists. Motherhood should not be a barrier to pursuing a career in the arts, and we are committed to creating a more equitable and inclusive creative economy.
Our focus at MICA is on events, exhibitions, and a dynamic website showcasing mother artists’ work. By providing a platform for these artists to share their work, we can raise awareness of their unique challenges and highlight the value of their contributions to the art world.
Our events and exhibitions are designed to be inclusive and accessible to everyone, regardless of background or circumstances. By creating a welcoming and supportive community, we can help to break down the barriers that have historically prevented mothers and other underrepresented groups from fully participating in the art world.
At MICA, we are committed to creating opportunities for mother artists to connect with each other and with industry professionals. Building networks and fostering collaborations can help create a more vibrant and diverse creative community.
While we currently focus on events and exhibitions, we are always looking for ways to expand our offerings and provide more support to mother artists. In the future, we hope to provide resources and guidance on issues such as childcare and time management, as well as professional development opportunities and access to funding.
Our ultimate goal at MICA is to create a more equitable and inclusive art world where everyone has an opportunity to pursue their passions and contribute their unique talents and perspectives. By supporting mother artists, we can help to build a brighter future for everyone in the creative economy.
