“The event really focuses on diversity; it is a forum for many artists, designers, performers and musicians to showcase their work. Alternative Arts and Fashion Week is a great event and opportunity - an amazing experience.”– Heidi Ackerman (Designer and winner of the Beefeater Innovative Spirit Award at FAT 2008)
