Interactivity Option – HENNA LACE TEMPORARY TATTOOS

The Henna Lace Temporary Tattoos are a great activity option that has all the appeal of henna without the time and mess concerns of henna.

This package includes efficient, friendly, and costumed tattoo techs who provide all the necessary equipment to apply the tattoos and an elegant scene with matching tablecloths and dresses. After waiting a couple seconds for the tattoo to dry, take a picture of it in our framed selfie station! Packages start at $350 for 2 tattoo techs for 2 hours.

What we’ve got up our sleeves for weddings

Recently the newly finished Catalyst Airship got to be utilized for one of the purposes it was designed for… for brides to get ready for their wedding!

Lovely Monica picked a small funky venue for her wedding– and the venue didn’t have any private rooms available… so she had her hair makeup dress ritual all done inside our 25 ft airstream.

Interactive Zone Production- Oasis at LIB Music Festival

Memorial day weekend we debuted a new Interactive Zone Production offering at a large music festival in California called Lightning in A Bottle.

The Oasis was a refreshment lounge with free hospitality and some arts & games activities.
It can easily adapt itself into a VIP Lounge or add more water functions and become a zone for  guests to get refreshed at hot Summer events.

 

Inside our tent was also an ARTS CO:LAB corner with various creative activities like making Awards, Playing Cards, and the Co-Creation Roundtable exercise- resulting in synergy art pieces we hung around the tent.

 

And as if that wasn’t enough– we had the TRANSFORMATION STATION– Face Paint & Body Art Booth where we transformed people into fanciful magical versions of themselves.
Our Pro people paint team included Kelsea E, Audette Sophia, Bri Tree, & Naomi Aeva.  www.facebook.com/becometheart
