Procreate Project jobs and careers

About Procreate Project

Founded in 2013, Procreate Project is the very first art organisation supporting the development of contemporary artists who are also mothers working across art-forms. Procreate Project is place of knowledge, representation, artistic production, publication and experimentation. We work to support people who make, research, study, teach, produce, care and write about the maternal experience or they do all the above while mothering, creating the prime conditions for the production of works that would not otherwise be created. By conceiving new models and platforms that facilitate the happening of a solid artistic development and increased visibility, we want to make social changes that benefit women and their families. Through art we want to unpack and put light on stereotypes and assumptions for which women cannot pursue their creative goals when raising small children. Today Procreate Project offers online and offline platforms and opportunities for the display, screen and staging of works and connections with peers and organisations that can support artists at different stages of their development. Women keep voicing concerns about attitudes towards female artists, the lack of support for childcare and maternity leave, and the obstacles that confront women, particularly during the mid-career stage. It's demonstrated that mothers have to face biggest challenges due to lack of infrastructures designed to meet their family needs in order to nourish and develop their practice. By structuring the project around the artists’ altered priorities, Procreate Project seeks to alleviate, rather than exacerbate, these challenges. Procreate Project is inclusive today of an online shop for the sale of original artworks, prints and publications, events and exhibitions, commissions and productions of artistic works, Art Prize and very importantly the Mother House studios – a unique model of artist studios with integrated childcare, where children are welcome into the workspace
