Over the summer of 2015, during the 16th Annual Pickathon Music Festival... Portlandia, the IFC comedy show, filmed the 1st Episode of Season 6. Last night here in Portland, we were very lucky to join fans at the Revolution Hall, for the 2016 PICKATHON KICK OFF PARTY. During the Pickathon kick off party, some key bands were announced that would be playing next year and a sneak peak of Portlandia Season 6 was presented. PORTLANDIA SPOILER ALERT: It was awesome! This Thursday January 21st Portlandia returns at 10P ET/PT on IFC. Season 6 Episode 1, features GuildWorks ~ Architecture of the Air via Pickathon. We have proudly been working with Pickathon for over 10 years now, and our signature shade fabric sail array would naturally be featured. We were proud of how much our work was shown throughout the episode, and especially during the credits. Don't miss the Portlandia season premiere on IFC. We had a very interesting 2015, and we are actively working on projects that will launch in 2016. We'd like to take a moment to recap some of the highlights of our 2015 installations. In the beginning of the year, we were contacted by The Caravan ~ Tiny House Hotel, as featured on the TV comedy, Portlandia. This unique hotel is the first of it's kind and based here in Portland Oregon. They were interested in a removable custom rain canopy to allow for Tiny House moving. The result is a canopy we call the Flying Squirrel that provides year-round rain protection and can withstand high winds. Around that same time, we sent one of our experienced kite flyers Kelly "Sky" Reed to Montreal to meet with Cirque Du Soleil. He gave them a demo, and a taught several of their top performers fly one of our most famous kites, the Synergy Zero Wind Great Deca. The show Toruk ~ The First Filght will go live later in 2015, showcasing several customized versions of our specialty indoor zero wind kite. We're very proud to have had this opportunity to share our love of kite flying with a performance troop that has provided so much inspiration to our own team.
As summer began, a small crew including the founder of GuildWorks, traveled to Corfu Greece to install one of our most interesting permanent installations for a very special Eco Resort. This permanent installation provides rain protection and will withstand fierce Mediterranean winds. Soon it was July and we started building the world largest annually installed temporary shade fabric structure of its kind, taking an unprecedented 3 weeks to install, for Pickathon. This is a must attend event! Itis one of our longest running festival clients and always so much fun.
As summer began to wane, Cisco Live 2015 presented their Customer Appreciation, giving GuildWorks an opportunity to push the boundaries of functional tension fabric artistry. Our designers presented one of the most sophisticated temporary fabric tension structures we have ever installed. We call it the Honeycomb VIP Lounge. Each tower is weighted down and pulled into tension by a grid of ropes high in the sky which are connected to the Petco Park infrastructure hundreds of feet away. In July, GuildWorks was found in Canada presenting two innovative multi-dimensional structures. The Alien Shade Tree and the Alien Beacon, both of these were custom designed for Digital Dreams 2015 in Toronto. In September a dedicated GuildWorks installation crew took on the challenge of bringing to life a very intriguing stage, for the 10th Anniversary of Symbiosis.
We installed many other events throughout the year and wish we could share all of them. Stay tuned to see what else we have in store for 2016! We are already actively working on some very interesting permanent installations, and we look forward to an outstanding new year. We wish you all the very best land thank you for your continued interest and support. We appreciate when you share to share our work with your friends, and family and let others know what we offer. Happy 2016!
