ARTIST/MOTHER Live Podcast: With Kaylan Buteyn
Live The Artist/Mother podcast with creator Kaylan Buteyn, a painter and mother of 3 children.

Each interview brings you an honest perspective and peek into the life of artists who are also mothers, asking them to share with us about their journey as they attempt to balance both identities.

Mama Create-Ups (POSTPONED)
Our Mama Create-Ups series provides two hour bi-monthly programming for on and off campus moms in conjunction with the exhibition Labor: Motherhood and Art in 2020 (Labor). The first hour of the Mama Create-Ups series provides informational talks by local specialists on themes, such as, lactation, FMLA, and Carving our time for your passions. During the following hour, mothers will be given time to write or work on personal projects while their children creatively explore art projects inspired by Labor in collaboration with the existing University Art Museum’s (UAM) OutsmART children’s workshops–whose mission is to expose children in the southwest region to art through exploration and play. Mama Create-ups welcomes regional moms to the UAM and the campus of New Mexico State University, providing them with time, an inclusive and safe environment, and resources for campus and regional mothers. *Babies and small children welcome with their parents at all events (including lectures)! z
