Erwin Huebner, Debra Frances Plett and Ann Stinner spoke about their often misunderstood medium, their creative processes and why the artist's book is so important in our digital age.

How can art make us better, happier, more whole?

March 3, 2017 - Art is a Motherhood Issue
Lisa Wood
One of the historical obstacles for female artists has been the stubbornly persistent notion that it is impossible to combine motherhood and creative work. (As controversial British artist Tracey Emin said in 2014: “There are good artists that have children. They are called men.”
Manitoba artist Lisa Wood, whose paintings often deal with identity, family and community, made the case for being both a mother and an artist, with each role enriching and informing the other. We talked about practical challenges and real rewards, while challenging social stereotypes of moms and artists alike.

In conversation with moderator Alison Gillmor, Adams will be covering some tough and topical questions: What is the relationship between art and activism? What does it mean to be a political artist in the 21st century? How can artists connect with wider audiences? How can we use art to start conversations about important and difficult subjects? Can art actually change the world?
