Women in Their Infinite Forms

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!
