Scarlet: A Celebration of Female Expression is a cultural celebration of women that promotes our talents while highlighting powerful social issues.
Founded in 2014 as a feminist art show, The Scarlet Event has since blossomed into a live, interactive creative art space and lifestyle event focused on bringing intellectuals together in the spirit of cultural celebration, mutual understanding, and social justice.
