GALAS & FABULOUS FUNDRAISERS

We adore bringing our magic to Galas.
They are grand, elegant, and almost always raising money for a good cause.

We also have our own Specialty Menu of Party Animals that fundraisers of all kinds can offer to their Sponsors that does double good of enhancing the event with live & interactive elements & funding our own pledge to Animal & Habitat Causes. 

SAN FRANCISCO OPERA BALL

Catalyst Arts worked under celebrity event planner Colin Cowie & Todd Events To bring unique entertainment to the SF Opera’s opening night gala at City Hall. (in 2013)
We costumed and body painted and booked 10 entertainers including 4 living statues, 3 stilt walkers,
& 3 fire dancers to animate the ‘Garden of good & evil’ theme.

Above you see the Butterfly themed year that included silk-winged stilt walkers who helped hang guests wishes onto large wish trees, & butterfly ballerinas in a bubble on the steps as guests entered, & golden winged hostesses who said goodbye to guests.

The next year we had 2 champagne skirt hostesses & another ballerina in a bubble.
