Raine Square is dialing up the pink for International Women’s Day with EMPOWERED
The new EMPOWERED art installation at Raine Square is a nod to the inspiring women of WA’s history in fabulous pink fashion.
The exhibition will celebrate all things women and will showcase meaningful and immersive
experiences emphasising female empowerment. It will honour the precinct’s namesake, Mary Raine, and sport some of WA’s most sensational women in vibrant, pop-up portraits. Plus it’s totally gram-worthy.
Visitors can pop into the booth to nominate their favourite kick-ass women from the community who have helped them feel empowered, while also going in the draw to win a $2,000 Flight Centre voucher for both people.
We’d recommend popping in on International Women’s Day itself (8th March), because you’ll be treated to complimentary purple champagne and sweet treats- how’s that for a mid workday treat!
