To celebrate Women’s History Month, Redhead led design, writing, and promotion for Nelson Gallery’s retro-inspired Historic Women of Washington Square scavenger hunt: a month-long community activation event to inspire visitors to explore local shops and spread awareness about the district’s influential women throughout history. Visitors completed a clue sheet filled with hints about women figures who have inspired eight different women-owned businesses Downtown to receive prizes. The event increased foot traffic to Downtown small businesses.
