Recently I had the opportunity to work on a short project for a nonprofit organization called LA's Best Friends. LA's Best raises money to provide after-school enrichment programs in low-income schools in LA. Anyways--my boss Melanie sits on the board for Best Friends, and asked me if I could help out with day-of setup logistics. The event was held at the old historical cathedral; the Vibiana in downtown LA. This actually was the original cathedral of LA until they built the new one. It is a gorgeous building with a lot of old spanish inspired architecture. The pics here in the beginning are from our site visit earlier in the week--(aka the before pics.) You can see both the inside and the outdoor patio area (which I think would be a great space for an event in itself).
And then this is what the space transformed into for Casino Night...the greatest thing about this event, is that almost everything was donated...even the LIGHTING. This event is a perfect example of what lighting can do for an event.
It was a blast filling up this space with all of these things and working on the spatial layouts of the event. It was so nice to be able to just go work the event with no worries or responsibilities--just there to simply help out and have fun while doing it. The event turned into a great success!
