The Trust for Public Land's "Above the Rails" Gala
Chicago celebrated the opening of the 606, a public, elevated trail along a former railway, with a gala June 5 that paid homage to the host city. Artist Shala created a piece of original artwork at the event, which sold for $8,000 at the live auction. The artist encouraged guests to participate in the creation of the piece by having them sign their names on it.

'Straight Outta Compton'
The last major debut of the summer, Straight Outta Compton’s world premiere took over the Microsoft Theater at L.A. Live on Monday. Universal senior vice president of special projects Hollace Davids served as executive producer of the event, with design and production from ELS, led by Joel Goldman. The arrivals area included a giant turntable decor piece alongside elevated logos.
The third annual III Points Festival—focused on music, technology, and art—returned to Miami's Wynwood arts district October 9 to 11. The entrance to the Main Frame stage was constructed of illuminated poles that bounced sounds back and forth. The video sculpture was designed by artist Jason Boogie AV8 and titled "Theoretical FrameWork."
