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.
MEET OUR HOST:
Erykeffany Jimenez is an educator, singer, and TV host.
IN SEPTEMBER 2015, WE CELEBRATED HISPANIC HERITAGE MONTH BY HOSTING SCARLET: A CELEBRATION OF LATINO EXPRESSION. WE OPENED THE FLOOR TO MEN AND ALLOWED THEM TO PERFORM AND PRESENT THEIR WORK AT THE SCARLET EVENT FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. THE RESULTS WERE MAGICAL.
