Hands-On Activities

Caregiving and Creative Practice Workshops

How are art-making and caregiving at play and at odds in the lives of Philadelphia's working artists? Facilitated by Catherine Ricketts, author of The Mother Artist, these workshops will feature visual artist Mickayel Thurin, photography duo Shay and Fran Silvestre. Inspired by themes from the exhibition Mary Cassatt at Work, the workshops will explore the ways that art-making and caregiving are mutually enriching, as well as the challenges that face those who aspire to do both. Workshops are open to caregivers of all kinds and anyone interested in the intersection of art and care.​
