Dear all,
Firstly, we want to say a huge thank you to you all for making Sensory Runway a huge success. The night was absolutely amazing and would not have been that way with out all of you! Roger, Paul and I created a vision some months back now and you all made that vision real. I am still recovering from endless nights of not sleeping and I don't think I actually relaxed on the night until the party started at 11pm.
Although E.V.E.N.T didn't make any money nor did we make what we spent, we did make a successful show for artists and gained significant amount of respect from the community. We have learned some valuable lessons and have proven to ourselves and others that we can do this, so imagine what can be achieved with sponsorship!
Thanks to all of you that had trust in us; that believed this was possible. Thank you to those of you that understood that this was our very first event and that we were doing it on our own. To those of you that gave up precious time and shared your love and passion for the arts.We love you!!
To all the designers, well done! It was so great to see all your designs together in one show. Your individuality came through and kept the show lively upbeat and dynamic. You should all feel very proud. E.V.E.N.T has had a few emails asking us about you guys and that they want you involved in new projects. This is so exciting as this was our objective for you all! We will be in touch with you individually about requests. Thank you!
