This will be an exciting weekend for DGS, as two huge festivals that we’ve been working on are both held this Saturday, September 25th. The American Wine and Food Festival (AWFF) will start at 6pm on the Universal Studios Backlot. GLOW begins at 7pm and runs until 3am on the Santa Monica Pier, beach and Palisades Park (so you could easily attend both!)
If you’ve never been to AWFF, start saving up your appetite now. The event is an amazing night that brings together the country’s premiere chefs and vintners, all in support of the Meals on Wheels programs of Los Angeles (who are our buds as well).
This year, there are over 40 top chefs and over 80 vintners. There’s also live music, a Dessert Sanctuary, a Silent Auction and much more. In other words, it’s a fantastic night out! While we’re in the throws of last minute production for Saturday, you may visit the AWFF website to get your tickets and be sure to partake in this fabulous night that benefits a wonderful cause.
Although it seems like just yesterday that we were announcing that we got the GLOW design job, that festival is already this weekend too! GLOW promises to be an amazing night with over 20 art installations and projects scattered about the Santa Monica Pier, beach and Palisades Park (it just so happens that we designed a very handy map that you can pick up at the event to help you find your way around).
The installations range from acoustic music performances to the most technologically advanced interactive artworks. Included in the impressive roster of artists is Steve Roden, who you’ll remember from our recent post has a show up at the Pomona College Museum of Art (which we also designed for- we’ve had a busy summer). There is an opening ceremony for GLOW at 7pm at Ocean and Colorado Avenues, so be sure to be there on time and wear comfy walking and art viewing shoes!
If you do attend either event and would like to share your photos with us, please email them to nancy@deptofgraphicsciences.com, as we’d love to see the night from your perspective!
Thanks, and hope to see you Saturday!
