Art Working Parents Allience
In June 2026 I joined founders Hettie Judah and Jo Harrison as part of the core team running the Art Working Parents Allience.

The Art Working Parents Alliance (AWP) is a UK-wide peer network and advocacy group supporting parents and carers working across the visual arts.

AWP was launched in 2022 by Jo Harrison and Hettie Judah, in response to the structural barriers that make it difficult for parents - and particularly primary caregivers - to sustain creative careers in the arts. These barriers include precarious employment, limited access to professional networks and opportunities, exclusion from events and work due to caring responsibilities, and a lack of clear guidance around rights, pay, and workplace support.
