The Motherload Collective emerged in the summer of 2023, created by Anna Heywood-Jones and Jessie McNeil, in an effort to build community and respond to the particular experiences and challenges of being an artist/parent. Motherload currently consists of over twenty artists, and the children we care for range in age from infants to pre-teens. Our practices vary widely, some centering around themes of motherhood, birth and care-work, and some not. However, we all share the desire for connection with other artist-caregivers and to normalize the presence of artist/parents and children in the art world.
