Hammerspace Artist Cohort

The Hammerspace Artist Cohort is a nine-month artist development program designed to support mother artists pursuing ambitious creative work within the realities of contemporary life.

Hammerspace views motherhood not as a niche concern but as a lens through which broader questions about artistic labor, creative sustainability, and cultural value become visible. Many artists navigate periods of interruption, shifting identity, fragmented time, financial pressure, and competing responsibilities while maintaining a commitment to their work. Rather than treating these realities as barriers to artistic growth, the cohort creates space to investigate how artistic practices can evolve through complexity, care, transformation, and change.
