Breaking Records And Showing Up: A CraftHER Fall '18 Recap
WE ARE PRESENT. 🔥From 11 AM to 5 PM on Sunday, October 21, we hosted our fifth installment of craftHER Market. 3800+ attendees filled the space to shop local and support women and nonbinary artists.
We Are Present: On Fall 2018's Programming Theme
Over the next couple of months, from our meet-ups to SHE TALKS to craftHER Market, we’ll explore what it means to show up for our goals day-in and day-out. We’ll share the stories of historical icons and present-day leaders who motivate us to do the work—even when it’s tough. And we’ll deep dive into the creative spaces, communities and people that are working hard to make the City of Austin as vibrant as possible. Hope to see you soon.
