Denver, CO, June 7, 2020 – Athena Project and Print Pointe are pleased to announce the four winning artists of the Art For Hope Campaign. Sue Crosby Doyle with It Is Complicated, S. L. Yang with Panda Hug, Laura Pawlik with Hocus Pocus and Michelle Lamb with Madonna of Measure will each receive $100 and 20 x 16 print of their work on acrylic or metal. All artists hail from Colorado.
Art For Hope was created to provide an opportunity for artists to uplift those most vulnerable to Covid-19. The artwork will be used to create postcards that will be sent to the residents and employees of assisted living communities around the metro area. The cards include messages of hope and encouragement. We know that these populations suffer isolation and vulnerability. Most folks have been confined to their rooms and have been unable to see family members for a very long time.
Over 40 submissions were received from over 20 Colorado artists. Winners were chosen by a team of local artists including Carina Bañuelos-Harrison, Sylvia Montero, Tessa Crisman, Rachel Bayse of Arts Students League of Denver and Cecily Cullen of Metropolitan State University Center for Visual Arts.

*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, trans and gender-nonconforming individuals.
