On September 26th, writer Audrey To from Terms and Conditions Magazine team had the privilege to attend the Successful Female Entrepreneurs: Exploring the intersection of Gender, Art and Entrepreneurship talk in sharing tips of the intersection of Gender, Art and Entrepreneurship.
Conversing with various seasoned, experienced #female entrepreneurs in the industry such as Abi, PY Lau and Cindy Tang shattered my expectations: the Hong Kong creatives industry is stronger than ever. With the establishment of their newest initiative, Gemstone Lab, Abi and Cindy hope to integrate the transformative power of mentorship within their beloved community of Hong Kong-based artists, designers and musicians, providing a medium for those who have come before to inspire those who will come after.
Hosted by Abi and Cindy, “Successful Female Entrepreneurs: Exploring the Intersection of Gender, Art, and Entrepreneurship” is an intimate trace of their entrepreneurial journeys in fashion and the visual arts.
