Join is as part of this special new Exhibition Launch of our August Exhibition 'Parenthood' by Parents of Small Biz
'They say babies don’t keep — but nor does inspiration. With our children as our muses, we are bringing the raw reality of parenting in the 2020s to light.
Curated by Printmaker Katherine Rathmell, and growing from the POSBL (parents of small biz Leeds) community, this exhibition showcases the work of creative parents in Leeds.
It features art and words from local creators highlighting the push and pull of creating art while raising children, and the beauty and brutality of watching those children grow up.
We hope it strikes a chord with other parents walking the same beaten track, and we also hope it makes some of the invisible work of caring for the next generation more visible and accessible to people who aren’t immersed in parenthood.
