Maine Creative Industries Gala

The Maine Center for Creativity held its inaugural gala September 13th at the Holiday Inn by the Bay in Portland, ME. The Maine Creative Industries Award recognized David Shaw and Glenn Close for "excellence in art, innovation and enterprise that is fueling Maine’s creative economy." In order to showcase the creativity that was being honored, Citrine Events in Cape Elizabeth, ME decided the ballroom needed a complete transformation, and Transformit was honored to donate to the cause.

The hallway leading to the ballroom was adorned with a Lotus Tunnel and Diamond FireFly Navigators to act as wayfinders to highlight the entrance to the main event. The ballroom itself was filled to capacity with tables and a central stage, but there was room enough to line the walls and ceiling with pieces from our Fascinating Rhythms and Organics collections. Moonlighting Productions provided a spectacular lightshow on the Transformit fabric of ever changing color themes. Headlight AV created revolving art on Circle Flats inspired from the Jaime Gill artworks on the Portland gas tanks, and video to complement the evening's star studded entertainment and honorees.

During the dinner, helium filled radio-controlled sharks hovered and "swam" over the tables to add to the surreal environment. Musical performances by Lady Zen, the Thomas Snow Band, and Burundi Batimbo Beats provided the aural response to balance a very successful night of creative exposure.
