LED Robots and Trays light up the night at Navy Pier!

We stopped traffic at a recent event at Navy Pier, with the appearance of our LED Robots and Tray girls. Our client was over the moon and guests were delighted, as our stilt walkers flashed, strobed, and changed colors, and our tray girls handed out LED swag. It was a great way to make an impact and provide guests with a one-of-a-kind photo experience. Do you have an event coming up with a technology theme OR perhaps want to draw attention to a trade show or expo booth? If so, contact us today to book one of our “out of this world” LED experiences!

The general sessions were a combination of speakers and panels representing sports leadership, and supporting integrity, activism, mental health and women in youth sports.

Artbeat Live's Elliott From Premieres New Brand

Live Art International's co-founder, Elliott From (Artbeat Live) just premiered a new brand, LuvArt Shoes! As a philanthropist and an artist, Elliott From has made helping those in need a cornerstone of his life’s mission. It has been evident in his work for the past 11 years as sales of his artwork has helped raise over $3.75 million dollars for non-profits. 

Partnering with Tricia Schwaba, they have created LuvArt Shoes, inspiring others to give back. Their vision includes the transferring of dramatic shape & color of original artwork to mens, women's and kids footwear and apparel. LuvArt Shoes is partnering with Soles4Souls.org and Zappos Shoes to make this vision a reality.  

When you purchase a pair of LuvArt Shoes you have an opportunity to positively impact the life of people across the globe. By donating a pair of gently used shoes (or a new pair just purchased!) to Soles4Souls, that donated pair becomes currency for empowerment, putting those shoes on the feet of someone who may have none. The donation process is a simple and FREE. Please visit the LuvArt Shoes Donate page for more info.
