JMP was very happy to be invited to help usher in the the joint 50th birthdays of Mr and
Mrs Kevin King. Congratulations! With Diamond light curtains behind Taste Catering’s
Oyster Service on our Wavy Bar, back to back Trend Bars with hanging mixed 2×2 paneling,
highlighted with color changing shimmering lighting effects for an intriguing organic
center piece.

The guests enjoyed dancing into the after hours on a black and white dance-floor
installed by JMP with a custom pattern directed on-site by Kevin King himself. The night
was livened up with Tommy Guerrero’s five piece band and a live performing artist
painting our stage’s back walls all night.

Mr. and Mrs. King filled the Fort Mason International Exhibition Center with fantastic
selections from their personal art collection and a unique “shot full of holes” 1964 Mustang.

Harvey Woo and Professional Sound Productions called upon John Murray Productions to provide event design and production services for a successful health maintenance organization. The focus for the event was designing an environment that would display approximately 200 award plaques of doctors and physicians, who were being noted for their commitment to medical innovation in, and around the Bay Area. After the event the plaques were to be shipped to the relevant employees at their workplace to be wall-mounted for all to see.

Our design incorporated all of the plaques being located into one centralized area [rather than a room, filled with easels!] by mounting them along with additional plexiglass and our rental 2′x2′ plexi set, onto two concentric circular trusses and deadhung pipe. The result was a 40′ circular gallery of plaques which was also defined the centerpoint for the event space, with doorways to the rest of the space which include 5 separate environments/exhibits within the space, as well as three additional satellite circular ‘pods’.

John Murray Productions also coordinated lighting, rigging, room drapery, custom furniture and custom carpeting for the event space, as well as providing the set and environment for the adjacent keynote set.

In this event filled evening with the stars JMP’s design elements set the mood of high class style. Our 2 x 2 grid set played a different type of role in this Febuary event compared to the previous Divisional Star event, portraying beautiful lit textures that sectioned off the room into more intimate settings, and it also doubled as a classy background for graphics and logos on either side of the main screen. JMP also provided other scenic elements including the entrance reveal composed of tall iridescent beads.

Right after this event these 2 x 2 panels were used in the Academy of Friends show, by flipping them around and adding extra panels on top of the graphics so they disappeared.
