For this annual employee holiday party, we were tasked with creating an “out of the box” reception style event in a massive space, to design it to feel like two distinct spaces, with no division or drape lines to ultimately feel like one big employee event.

The client had already hired the Duelling Pianos, therefore as part of our creative strategy we used this as our launch pad and built the entire event around them! Introducing Art Fusion Holiday.

The Experience

Art Fusion Holiday immersed guests in a mesmerizing event experience designed through duelling elements in art, entertainment, and design. The event design was inspired by the Duelling Pianos and we featured them front and centre in the space. From there we virtually divided the space by colour and artistic eras, Modern and the Masters.

Upon entry, guests were invited to choose whether they wanted to experience the work of the Masters or a more Modern Gallery. The entrance included oversized galleries that hid the main stage, creating a unique entrance experience.

When guests entered the Masters Gallery, they were immersed in a red luxurious glow with roses and candlelight found across the venue. Guests sat on old world throw rugs to complete the experience. The Modern Gallery was the exact mirror of the Masters. LED lighting created a cool, modern, and urban ambiance completed with a lip-shaped couch and Warhol style art. Living statues were found in both galleries, along with artists painting portraits of guests, in the respective art style, as they walked through.

Elevated seating areas were punctuated by oversized picture frames, allowing guests to be part of the gallery while the screens used for the corporate video were cleverly used as a duelling digital gallery throughout the evening.
