The Flock Artist Collective is composed of artist/mothers whose creative practices explore the wide-ranging, multifaceted, often-unseen work of parenting. Each artist has their own way of tracing out the lines that connect artmaking to mothering, and none of them look like simple geometry. They are lines with mass and weight, lines that meander like rivers over time, lines that blur, lines that start to fray where they are stretched near breaking. Above all, they are lines that converge, sketching out the arcs of lives. Long or short, they are also wide.

The Flock Artists have roots in Pittsburgh, flocking together annually to show together and expand what it means to be an artist/mother, from a wide range of ages, stages, and backgrounds. With each iteration, they grow new connections between neighborhoods, subcultures, generations, and ways of being in the world.

And Also Wide—Artist/Mother Lines will be on view from July 18-September 7.
