POWarts & Art Mamas Alliance Present: Career Disruption During COVID
Monday, February 15, 7:00PM EST
In the fall of 2020, 865,000 American women left the workforce - four times more than men. Forging a career in the arts has always been a challenge, and with the increased demands of childcare, family responsibilities, a lack of social and societal support, and the physical and mental stressors of this uncertain climate, many women in the sector are finding themselves stretched beyond their limits this year.
POWarts and Art Mamas Alliance present an informal discussion led by artist Sophie Kahn will offer our members a space to share stories, offer support, and exchange ideas and strategies to help each other navigate this difficult time.
