Taubman Museum of Art
PRODUCER:   John Wolfslayer
LOCATION: Roanoke, VA
CLIENT: Taubman Museum of Art
EVENT: Grand Opening
DATE: November 2008

After producing the ground-breaking community festival for the new museum in 2005, we were honored to be invited back to design Grand Opening events including a Donor Dinner, ticketed Black-Tie Gala and the Public Opening.

The public opening took place over a 12 hour window and had to continuously entertain crowds lined up outside waiting their timed turn to enter the facility. We accomplished this with 3 teams of our stilts birds as they rotated throughout the day. The amazing birds took took Roanoke by storm and became the talk-of-the-town as large crowds gathered to get a glimpse of these amazing life-like creatures.
