About Today's Cargo &
Empowered Women International
I found the story of Today's Cargo very similar to the story of Empowered Women International and the many artists we help launch their businesses.
Today's Cargo was founded on a card table at an Old Town Alexandria flea market 33 years ago...
"Founding Mother" Gladys Irvin started the business by selling jewelry from Thailand at a market on weekends. More
Created in 2002 by Romanian journalist and women's rights activist, Marga Fripp, EWI promotes the arts and creates entrepreneurial opportunities for immigrant and refugee women artists living in the Northern Virginia and Greater DC Metro area. Marga is an art business coach and entrepreneur whose services empower artists and arts communities to accomplish their mission and dreams. EWI was selected by Catalogue for Philanthropy as one of the best charities in the Greater Washington region.
Thank You to our generous sponsor TODAY'S CARGO, and its dedicated team that made this event possible.
EWI's art events are made possible in part with support from the ALEXANDRIA COMMISSION FOR THE ARTS |
