Women’s History Month

“Live your passion, be true and honest and kind, and f**k those who don’t get it.” – Nancy Bendtsen, CEO Inform Interiors.

Gastown is a hub of female founded, owned, and operated businesses. From fashion to design, tech, art, and hospitality, we are home to some of the most bad ass women who are raising the standards and making history. So, join us as we celebrate Women’s History Month.
