The Thrive Together Network is a network of women who share a vision that they need one another and that thriving in the arts means knowing your tribe. Kaylan and Jamie, the founders of Artist Community met while running separate communities. Over the course of a year, we spent chatting on Whatsapp or Zoom and sharing encouragement and advice. We grew closer because we shared a common bond and we played a unique part in creating a community. It was now time to fully embrace the belief that "community is more important than competition", and combine our communities. Kaylan Buteyn, an artist and curator, is the founder of Stay Home Gallery & Residency, as well as of the Artist/Mother Podcast. Her work focuses primarily on the empowerment of women, maternal experiences, and engagement with the community. She often references the mother form in her abstract paintings. Internationally, she has shown in both galleries and community centers. Kaylan began the Artist/Mother Podcast in 2019 as an extension of her social art practice. She interviews working mothers who are artists. It has grown to be a network of many women artists who are supported and encouraged through exhibitions and publications. There is also a program for crit groups, retreats, and other forms of support. This podcast will continue to be a valuable resource for Artists/Mothers. As a reaction to the covid-19 global pandemic in 2020, Kaylan and Pam Taylor co-founded Stay Home Gallery. They then took their virtual gallery into the real world when Kaylan opened her rural Tennessee home as an artist residency and bricks-and-mortar gallery. Kaylan has an MFA in Fine Arts from the New Hampshire Institute of Art. Now, she lives in Fort Wayne with her husband and 3 kids.
