ABOUT AMF Local Fashion. Local Art. Local Causes.
Welcome to Art Meets Fashion 2013 celebrating the best of Utah fashion, fine art, culinary and performing arts during an exclusive two night event in downtown Salt lake City benefiting one local organization, The Center for Documentary Expression and Art. A multi-city event, AMF features runway shows in venues that support the local artistic community. AMF also showcases food selections from top area restaurants, live performances from local talent and is geared toward the socially conscious, fashion forward resident.
Our goal this year was to bring an artistic showcase only previously seen in larger cities to the Salt Lake City center. With over 250 volunteer participants including 102 models each evening, 10 salons, 9 fashion designers, 9 boutiques, 7 restaurants, 12 performance artists, 10 fine artists, 1 event design company and their entire team, lighting designers, staff and over 20 dedicated AMF core team members that work for months leading up to the event, AMF celebrates everything that makes a region unique. Founders of Art Meets Fashion and (a)perture marketing, Heidi M. Gress and Anne Cummings created the event as a premiere community outreach program. Heidi Gress acts as current executive producer of AMF, while Anne Cummings is on personal hiatus and is currently enrolled in the MSW program at the University of Utah and recently welcomed the addition of a beautiful baby girl, Cora. She will return to AMF in 2014.
Heidi M. Gress has over a decade of creative execution experience in commercials, print publications, and experiential marketing. She seeks out the best talent to create fully integrated, thought provoking campaigns. Artistically minded and client focused, she works hand in hand with clients promoting a collaborative environment. During her time in LA, she worked in commercial production on campaigns such as Target, Budweiser, Molson Canadian, and BMW films; as well as produced events for AIA, A+D museum, DesignGuide.com, JES Publishing, LA Fashion Week, live performance showcases, and private cocktail affairs. Before relocating to Salt Lake City she launched Sphere magazine, a lifestyle publication out of Los Angeles. By merging all aspects of the creative process she has found a comfortable home as partner and co-founder of (a)perture marketing in Salt Lake City. She brings the energy of a large city to this budding creative market. Recently, she completed photographic projects for Westfield Malls, Ballet West, Grand America, LuxaChrome and Farasha Boutique.
(a)perture marketing is a full service advertising, marketing and public relations agency, aspiring to create comprehensive and fully integrated marketing campaigns for both commercial and non-profit clients. (a)perture specializes in direct-to-consumer delivery of specific and targeted messages.
