Mamapalooza, Inc. is:

Dedicated to serving, promoting, celebrating, encouraging, inspiring and awakening ALL mothers through Media, Commerce, Connection and Performing Fine Arts.

Our mission is to enlighten and empower all women to claim their voice by:

v  Establishing a new art form that speaks to the unique and collective perspective of women who are mothers, while sharing this with the world.

v  Creating sustainable programming & opportunities through ongoing events, merchandising, and media presentations.

v  Acting as a resource and lifestyle guide for mothers seeking support in mainstream and alternative settings.

v  Supporting the choices mothers have made, while educating and empowering them in order to support these choices.

Mamapalooza is:

Mothers, musicians, authors, comics, dancers, filmmakers, designers, craftswomen, educators, merchants and community leaders coming together in a collaborative effort to highlight the challenges of motherhood in an ever-evolving personal, social, cultural, sexual and political landscape.

Mamapalooza, Inc:

Recognizes and honors the growing awareness of moms; their personal stories, their power as both consumers and constituents, and their continuing need and desire to creatively express themselves while building Mom-based businesses that sustain them.

We recognize that art is a tool for social change. Mamapalooza encourages women to use their medium to build self esteem, break down stereotypes, create unity, encourage diversity, inspire individuality, and empower future generations.

We recognize that art elevates the spirit in times of hardship and transition, lending joy to everyday life.  Our creations celebrate our humanity, define our experiences, and serve as healers and peacemakers.

We recognize the vital importance to laying a new foundation for women who are mothers, and the impact this has on future generations. Mamapalooza is strongly committed to our youth, and is committed to changing the perception that children are a liability in the professional and performing arts world – they are often inspiration and foundation for our creative and commercial endeavors.
