Artfully Minded Open Mic Nights + Workshops

*Independent Opportunity*

Serve on your own with our trusted Program Partner

Serve by joining: Artfully Minded Open Mic Nights + Workshops

with the Athena Project

Athena Project presents its newest extension of the Girls Create program - Artfully Minded Open Mic
Nights & Workshops for 6th - 10th grade girls* interested in learning and/or performing art forms such
as spoken word, poetry, music, acting/monologues, playwriting, stand-up, and dance.

Join us on the 2nd Mondays monthly for an event that brings in professionals from the community to
teach workshops and provide guidance during the creative process for various artistic disciplines.

Each 50-minute workshop culminates in an open mic where students share their work, whether from
that night's workshop or other projects.

Each open mic spot is for 5 minutes and there are 7
performance spots.

We invite the community, including friends & family of the participants, to
experience these performances.

Event is free, although a suggested donation is welcome.

Our first workshop leader is Kebrina Josefina De Jesus of Samba Colorado, long time collaborator of
Athena Project.

While this event is open to the public, space is limited so a reservation is required to attend.

About Athena Project: Athena Project empowers women* through the arts by providing women artists
with paid work opportunities while also ensuring audiences get to see and hear them. We change the
world, one paid woman artist at a time. Our programs evolve as the political and social landscape
changes.

At present, they include:

Read & Rant: A Plays in Progress Series, a book club that serves the needs of
new playwrights, providing them with readers and dramaturgical support while providing community
members with opportunities to support new work.

Curating Art for Impact, a collaboration with or on behalf of community partners, providing unique experiential art such as pop-up performances which
elevates and amplifies their missions.

Artful Reflections, a forum which connects artists with their audiences and fellow artists with a facilitated discussion about the emotional impact of the art through
the lens of the attendants' world views and identities.

Girls Create summer intensive week-long camps exploring various art forms, and monthly Artfully Minded open mic nights and workshops, empowering girls to lead and effect change in themselves and others through creative learning.

*At Athena Project, we believe that “women'' means many things and can be a complicated term. We
recognize that the term “women'' does not automatically include all aspects of the gender spectrum.
We want to create a safer space for the expression and growth for all women, non-binary, trans and
LGBTQIA+ individuals.
