A Pop Art-inspired bat mitzvah, designed by Danielle Couick of Magnolia Bluebird Design & Events, was held at the Decatur House in Washington in 2014.
Event Farm and HyperVocal hosted the "2.0: The New Media Party" at the Carnegie Library last weekend during the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. At the event, the "Selfie Squad" sponsored by Microsoft facilitated quality selfies with guests, decor, the band, and other details of the party. The team then immediately posted the snaps to social sites using the hashtag #NewMediaParty.
Online magazine xoJane hosted a party at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, this year that rewarded guests with fame at the event for snapping selfies. In an upstairs portion of the party space, guests were encouraged to take selfies with mirrors. The shots were then printed to add onto the "Shameless Selfie" wall and were projected in the event's main space, where MKG used neon masking tape and ultraviolet lighting for pops of bright color. The event promoted the pub's "Shameless Celebrity" list.
In the Pop Art garden at the Chicago show, moss and plants spell out the words "bloom" and "flower" in comics-like signage. The show runs through April 24.
2011 marked the end of Richard Daley’s tenure as mayor of Chicago, a position he occupied for more than 20 years. In April, the Art Institute of Chicago had a tributary gala for him and his wife, Maggie. Held in a tent in Millennium Park, the gala had Andy Warhol-inspired decor from HMR Designs.
