Art Weekend 2010 in Salt Lake City was a smashing success! We had over 150 students meet us at the Peery Hotel in downtown Salt Lake for three days chock full of fun and learning! See for yourself!
First, we owe a huge thank you to the following sponsors who made the event a great one:
*emera bags, allen's camera, cupcake chic, smart cookie, pro digital photos, little shop of shavs, jo totes, blick art materials.
Screenprinting, studio lighting and calligraphy -- oh my! We had a fantastic line-up of creative classes taught by some of the best instructors in the business. Here are just a few classes offered this year. Check it out:
San Francisco's resident screen printing genius Andy Kane helped our students learn how to print those adorable typewriter tote bags.
Nicole shared her favorite tips and tricks on getting a great tabletop shot of products with a great group of up-and-coming entrepreneurs.
Artist and popular blogger Melissa Esplin taught a sold-out crowd how to put a pen to paper with style in the calligraphy class.
Everyone's favorite husband and wife team Mike and Alma imparted their Photoshop and Illustrator wisdom during a dozen classes through the weekend.
Pary Planner Extraordinaire, Brittany Egbert, shared her best tips and tricks in planning a successful party. Students even got to make adorable party banners before leaving class.
Here's Nicole again, rocking her camera and showing students how to do the same in our mini-studio set up for the lighting class.
And Art Weekend wasn't just about learning (though there was a lot of it)...
At the casual craft night on Thursday, Alma shared a great glass etching project with our crafters over treats from cupcake chic. The mustache glasses were a huge hit (thanks to Nicole's sister and husband for modeling)!
And the Friday night social was such a great time -- incredible music by the great Josh Aker, more great craft time making silhouettes and great giveaways from our sponsors. And the food, oh the food -- we noshed on San Pellegrino and heavenly iced cookies provided by Smart Cookie.
Thanks to all who joined us for our third Art Weekend -- we hope to see you all again next year! And if you weren't able to make it this year, stay tuned as we'll be announcing the new Art Weekend 2011 dates in January!
