About Athena

One of the oldest women’s art organizations in the country, the Athena Art Society Inc. began in 1903 to assist and encourage women in all branches of the Fine Arts.

Athena continues to promote and develop the visual arts and stimulate community participation.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we also provide local art awards, host juried and non-juried member exhibitions, and support other arts organizations through leadership and partnerships. As membership is by invitation only, some of the area’s best know women artists have proudly participated in the Athena Art Society.
