— MEET THE PRODUCERS, PARTNERS AND VENUE —
About #bossbabesATX, the producers: We exist to build educated and empowered creative communities at the intersections of sisterhood and space. Through event series, showcases and personal/professional development programs, we amplify and connect women-identifying artists, creatives and entrepreneurs. Since we've been in operation, we've provided a platform of visibility, outreach and financial opportunity to 300+ Texas-based women artists, 400+ women-owned businesses and women activists. We were named "Best Bossy Babes" of 2015 by The Austin Chronicle, Tribeza's Top 10 to Watch in 2016 and we were selected by The White House to attend the United State of Women Summit in June 2016. This production has been made possible in part by 2018 presenting partners Resplendent Hospitality and #bbatx's in-kind contributor, Argus Cidery.
About Native Hostels, the venue: Located on E. 4th St. Native Hostels is a kinetic collision of music, arts, warm beds, sleepless nights, food, and spirits. Native regularly features and hosts artists, creatives, thinkers and folks who simply embody good times.
