Conversation Piece was an experimental art show where the attendees were asked to comment on the art through a text-messaging system projected on a screen at the venue.

PROMOTE
We came up with a couple headlines to get the guests thinking about the possibilities of the night and printed them on postcards to hand out around town to drum up some attendees to the party. We used a colorful, bold theme for attention grabbing effects and wacky quotes to create intrigue.

COMMUNITY
We worked with local artist and illustrator Will Bryant to create a poster and t-shirt for the event. T-shirts were handed out to the first 100 people through the doors.

CONVERSATION PIECE INSTALLED
Now that’s what we call an art installation. The collaborative art project from the party was installed in the office bathroom. Thanks to everyone who contributed to its creation. You should have heard the conversation it started with our cleaning crew!
