Apple launches “She Creates” in stores around the world
Apple Celebrates International Women’s Day with a Special Today at Apple Series, Editorial Collections on the Apple TV App, Apple Podcasts, and Apple Books, Features on the App Store, and an Apple Watch Activity Challenge
Throughout March, Apple Stores worldwide will host a series of over 5,000 Today at Apple sessions titled “She Creates” to highlight inspiring female creators using photography, design, technology, business, music and film to address tough topics, explore new perspectives and empower their communities. Select stores will host more than 100 sessions led by women across industries and mediums who are empowering those around them through creativity, including co-chair of the Women’s March Linda Sarsour, musicians Meghan Trainor and Victoria Monét, designer Carla Fernández, and many more.
“Celebrating the work, spirit and contributions of women is so important to Apple,” said Deirdre O’Brien, Apple’s senior vice president of Retail + People. “We’re thrilled to recognize International Women’s Day through the ‘She Creates’ programming series and bring these experiences to our stores so everyone can be inspired by some of the world’s most passionate and innovative creators.”
Beginning today, anyone can sign up for two new Today at Apple sessions inspired by women and led by Apple. A Music Lab featuring the music of Alicia Keys invites participants to deconstruct her new song “Underdog,” learn what inspires her to create, and remix their own version using GarageBand on iPhone and iPad. A new Art Lab titled “Playful Portraits” draws inspiration from three female artists from New York, Tokyo and Warsaw. The session will guide participants in transforming an everyday photo into a work of art with patterns, stickers and colors using the Procreate app on iPad Pro.
Special sessions hosted by female creators are planned in select stores around the world. For more information on the “She Creates” series, visit apple.co/she-creates.
