We're Athena Project – the Colorado nonprofit that amplifies the work of all women and underrepresented genders through the arts. By providing artists with paid work opportunities, we ensure audiences get to see and hear their work. Since 2012, through our programming and intentional partnerships, we invest in artist development, increase access to professional opportunities and build community by engaging audiences. Our work advances equity in the arts in Denver, Colorado and beyond.
Do you want to help women* artists and support girls and non-binary youth in achieving all they can? Join our Development Committee to help us raise funds to do just that!
The committee member position is approximately five hours a month (with potentially more hours preceding an event).
