In late June, the Shedd Aquarium Gala in Chicago served edible terrariums for dessert. Prepared by Sodexo, the treats contained ingredients such as chocolate mousse, "dirt" made out of bits of cake, edible flowers, chocolate rocks, and rose crystals.
On Wednesday, the El Capitan Theater in Hollywood hosted the premiere for Muppets Most Wanted. The film's stars, including Tina Fey, Ricky Gervais, and Ty Burrell—and Miss Piggy—posed on the red carpet in front of a backdrop that featured stacks of prop money and a vault.
Brooklyn-based artist Zach Lieberman's Reflection Study exhibit allowed guests to create different formations projected onto a wall by moving shapes made out of plexiglass over a light box.
Environmental nonprofit Global Green held its 14th annual pre-Oscar awards and concert at Tao Hollywood on February 22, honoring Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Council chairman David Archambault II as well as other environmental leaders. The awards were the first event inside the new Tao location, which is scheduled to open this spring.
JJLA handled design, production, and management for the event, which took on an Asia-inspired theme to celebrate the venue, with red and gold accents and plenty of greenery and succulents. The event was, of course, eco-friendly, with LED light fixtures, no plastic, and zero food waste; scraps were composted and leftover food was donated.
Atmosphere Productions handled audiovisual production, while Town & Country provided rentals and Seed Floral Couture handled flowers. The evening featured performances by DJ Asha, Cody Simpson, Estelle, and Taylor Dayne.
