Welcome to the Mother And … podcast, where women who are both artists and mothers discuss their diverse experiences as creators and caregivers. Each episode features discussions with artists and other individuals involved in the Mother And … exhibition, which runs from September 5 to November 21st, 2025, at the Leedy-Voulkos Art Center in Kansas City, Missouri. The exhibit and the podcast disrupt preconceived notions that parenthood diminishes one’s artistic practice, and celebrate motherhood as a source of expansive creative potential.

This podcast is part of the "Mother And ..." multi-platform project, which also includes an art exhibition, a printed catalog, a dedicated website, and public programming to highlight the intersection of motherhood and artistic practice.

This project is made possible by support from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Missouri Arts Council, and the Kansas City Art Institute.
