International Women's Day 2019 Celebrated by Alt and Friends in Darlinghurst
Alt celebrated International Women's Day
last Friday with a garden party at its Darlinghurst studio, bringing
together the very best of Australia's creative community from all
disciplines.
Along with the industry leaders, junior female creatives and
unsigned female directors were also invited along in the hope that a
connection made could assist future career paths and opportunities for
all. While guests enjoyed a fine sunny afternoon with some delicious food and wines, they were also encouraged to donate to local charity, Lou's Place, a safe space for women
in need. Those donations
came in the form of cash or donated clothing, which will be sold on
through independent clothing store, Bestow - with all proceeds going to
Lou's Place. Says Aborah Buick, executive producer: "After last year's successful event we really wanted to do something this year that had a direct impact on improving the lives of
women. As well as
cash, we chose to partner with Bestow to assist in raising funds for
Lou's Place. The response was pretty heart-warming. Thanks to all of the
men and women who helped us have a great day, celebrating and promoting
the best of the female talent in Australia."
