An Artful Event
We had so much fun conceptualizing and executing this event for the dsm Magazine unveiling sponsored by Skin Iowa, PC! We were approached by Skin Iowa, PC to create an event that captured what they do and tied it into the location of the Des Moines Playhouse. You can see the results of creative imagination below:
Tables at the event were accented with toppers that were cut out like artist’s palettes and attended by actors playing the role of a painter. There were small paint cans with different chocolates for dipping the fruit and other items that are tasty with different chocolates. Actors used paint brushes and encouraged guests to “paint with their food”.
Food was served on an artist palette serving tray. This is Smoked Salmon Asiago Tuile Palettes w/ Lox, Minced Onion, Shaved Egg, Capers & Dill.
Caricatures were drawn on an art palette for guests to take home as a souvenir.
Delicious Red Velvet Cakes were served by waiters in berets.
Interactive Photo Booths are always fun for guests to take photos in. Here they could be a part of the painting.

Red ceiling drape and velvet red backdrop with gold frames were used to bring all the arts together to celebrate the ART of You.
