Environment madness!!

This weekend starts our series at CVC called "Unlocking the Da Vinci Code." I am pumped about the series and the environment that we have created for it in the auditorium. We wanted to create a museum, and I believe we have been successful! The artwork, fabric, and lighting all work together to create a really magical environment. To the left are a few pictures: The first is of Steve and Dave up on the lift hanging Da Vinci's Last Supper. (I was on the ground saying, "No a little to left...no, too far. Now a little to the right...") The next photo is what our East and West walls look like: Each wall has three pieces of framed artwork hung in front of a red tapestry with a gold swag. We hung each of them a few feet above eye level to give the room a "grand feel." It really worked. Lastly, each piece of artwork was spotlighted - again to go for that museum look. The third photo is what we created on stage: A GIANT Mona Lisa hung in front of a red curtain that is 11 feet tall and 8 feet wide, also with a gold swag. The camera couldn't capture exactly what we achieved...but behind the Mona Lisa is a white scrim with gold and red lighting shooting up in columns. Very, very cool. I'll see if I can get some better pictures later, but it was late and I was tired! Kudos to Steve, Dave, and Henry for all of their work! You guys rock!

Awesome idea, Jeanne! You guys have an extremely tall stage, or so it appears...

Thanks! Everyone on our Creative Arts team is, well, creative! It was a lot of fun to dream this up as a team and then make it happen. I hope you are staying dry way out there in flood land. It's funny how water can be so life-giving and yet so destructive. Be safe! :)
