Athena Project empowers all women and underrepresented genders through the arts by providing artists with paid work opportunities while also ensuring audiences get to see and hear their artistic work. We change the world, one paid underrepresented artist at a time. Our programs evolve as the political and social landscape changes. We value: 1) The inherent power in the artistic voices of women; 2) Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion; 3) Equitable access to the arts ; 4) Equality in opportunities, representation, and pay. ; 5) The creative process; 6) The power of art to connect communities.
