VISION:
GFW’s goal is to be an all-inclusive art and culture event in Gainesville. We will do this by expanding the umbrella of “Fashion Week” to include and showcase a greater portion of the arts community, revolving around the runway events. This will include bringing in more emerging artists, musicians, and designers. Essentially we would like to create a platform to showcase as much talent as possible while maximizing the exposure for local businesses. By participating in fashion week businesses are not only self-promoting but supporting the arts community.

TARGET AUDIENCE:
While the past events have had a very respectable response and turnout, GFW is striving to break into several different local markets including the student population and Gainesville’s young professionals, (individuals between the ages of 21-45 who have chosen to make Gainesville their permanent residence and work in a professional setting).

GIVING BACK:
In keeping with our vision to expand GFW into an arts community, (fashion, visual arts, music, theater, etc) based event, the organizers of GFW intend to launch a side project later this year that will allow us to give back to the youth art programs in our area. More details on this project will be released shortly, however for this season we will be conducting a supply drive that will benefit the Alachua county school district art programs. We will be releasing a list of needs and a drive to collect art supplies will be conducted during the fashion week events.
