April 24 – June 15, 2025 | Warnes Contemporary | Curated by Kaylan Buteyn in partnership with Visionary Art Collective
We are thrilled to highlight Those Who Tend, a heartfelt and timely group exhibition on view at Warnes Contemporary in New York City from April 24 to June 15, 2025. Curated by artist and community-builder Kaylan Buteyn—founder of the Artist/Mother Podcast and Kinhouse Artist Residency—this show is a poignant tribute to artists who balance creative work with caregiving responsibilities.
In a culture that often overlooks the invisible labor of care, Those Who Tend honors artists who create in the in-between moments: during nap times, between shifts, or in the early hours before the day begins. These works, born out of resilience and devotion, offer a glimpse into lives shaped by both creativity and care.
Through a diverse range of media including painting, sculpture, textile, and mixed media, the exhibition explores themes of identity, memory, nourishment, and generational connection. Each piece tells a story not only of artistic vision but also of emotional labor, lived experience, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up.
This powerful exhibition is more than a celebration—it's a call to recognize and elevate the nuanced narratives of caregiving artists. It asks us to reflect on what it means to nurture others while carving out space to nurture ourselves.
