Mr. Plastics Designs Showcase Easels for High-profile Fundraising Event
Mr. Plastics' Designer David Foster worked with the San Francisco offices of UBS and Art Green of our in-house fabrication department to design and build 21 large (4' x 7') easels to showcase the art works of eight San Francisco artists. The day-long event culminated in an art auction and wine tasting event to raise funds for the BUILD program. BUILD mentors teach high school students basic entreprenuership and academic skills to help them start and run successful businesses.

A massive tent was set up on the center lawn of the office complex behind the Four Seasons Hotel Silicon Valley.

Two four-panel and 13 single-panel art displays were assembled on-site for the art display. All panels are wood frames with durable white expanded PVC sheet.

The huge tent accommodated the artwork, wineries, food and several hundreds guests for the fundraising event.

Seven of the large easels hold art from several artists. Guests bid in a silent auction for the pieces, and part of the proceeds from wine sales went to BUILD.
