Heart Ball 2019

Three-sided mini marquee centerpieces offered messages of gratitude and celebrated the organization's 30th anniversary.

Mindride created two customized interactive stations at the event: The team created an electronic avatar of the museum’s president as a skeleton, which welcomed guests and revealed the C.E.O. behind the large plasma screen made in his image. Guests also had a chance to use the technology at the dance party and view themselves as giant dancing skeletons on a screen that served as a backdrop for the band.

Body-painted models performed poses similar to those found in the California Science Center's new exhibit, "Body Worlds: Pulse." It took 10 hours for painters to create the looks on site.

The main cocktails path took guests immediately into the forest of art installations; directly adjacent to the dinner check-in was a second path that took attendees through the main building and directly into the cocktail/silent auction space.
