In celebration of Women’s History Month, Dairy Block and Denver Milk Market have partnered with The Athena Project for another year to bring the unique art exhibit, Women in Their Infinite Forms, back to the Block. This month-long exhibit features ten Colorado artists, each embracing the theme of what it feels like to be a woman, with pieces on display throughout the Block. In previous years, artists used a mannequin as their medium, but in the spirit of trying something new this year, the pieces are each artist’s interpretation of the theme using table mirrors.
Explore these intricate pieces, on display throughout Dairy Block, now through March 31st!

Courtney Griffin (she/her) is a self-taught mixed media artist with a love for painting, collage, embroidery, and textiles.

Calla Michaelides Lokku is an Artist with an education and professional background in Fashion Design. Through her experience as a dancer and yoga practitioner, she is enamored with settling into the physical sensations of art making in order to escape the mind and meet the true self.

The Athena Project was founded in 2012 by Angela Astle with the mission of empowering women through the arts. Since then, this Colorado nonprofit has been dedicated to strengthening local and global communities by encouraging women and girls to embrace themselves as leaders in the art space. Aside from the fabulous “Women in Their Infinite Forms” exhibit on the Block, The Athena Project produces a wide array of events, locally and globally, that celebrate female writers, fashion designers, musicians, and dancers. They believe in the inherent power in the artistic voices of women, equitable access to the arts, equality in opportunities, representation, and pay, and the power of art to connect communities.
