What better way to end a three-day conference than by attending a creative art party inspired by the hosting city? Presented at the historic Georgia Freight Depot, Transformed: Industry to Artistry was a party unlike anything WM Events has ever created. Guests were greeted by a drumming circle, dancers, and some of Atlanta’s favorite street artists- Evereman, Ike Madness, and Ms. ATL on the front porch. Dancers led guests past the yarn-bombed rocking chairs inside the Freight Depot and to the dance floor where they performed numerous routines and solo break dances.
Once inside, guests were awestruck by the site-specific surroundings, entertainment and activities filling the space. Installations included a splattered painted paint brush wall, an 18 foot tall balloon wall, paint chip chandeliers, and giant ribbon letters hanging from the ceiling! Also drawing guests’ eyes toward the ceiling were hip-hop trapeze artists! There was an LED hula hooper, a roller derby stunt girl, stilt walkers, and walking contortionists. Graffiti masters (Nels and a private artist), a photo booth, and DJ Tim DeGroot continued the hype throughout the venue. Color blocked floral arrangements, custom Atlanta pillows, eclectic furniture groupings, glow cubes and personalized bars carried the creative flow through the space! Lastly, we had guests transform the 6′ tall ZO letters from the conference space by pouring colorful paints on top of them, bringing the interactive elements home.
