I'm corresponding with a group associated with
a Cinco de Mayo celebration regarding our solar
powered BubbleYou® Bubble Tower -the world's biggest bubble toy ® http://www.bubbletower.com/
So I'm wondering, What should a "Cinco de Mayo Bubble Tower" look like?
This is a 14 foot tall, four legged pyramid structure.
Each leg is covered , usually with some kind of textile,
although we have painted discarded vinyl billoards, and
even discarded burlap coffee sacks in previous designs.
Would /should the creation of the Cinco de Mayo design
be part of the festival programming, during the event?
Or a collaborative effort, prior to the date?
Some ideas:
Quilt patches to be assembled on the date. Contest for the best patch?
Yarn bombing?
We could provide a white, blank canvas and the community provide one or more graffiti artists to create the art?
? Have four design teams, one for each leg of the Bubble Tower. Team members pay a fee to be on the team. This would give the festival some income. Just a thought.
? seek participation by various groups including: urban clothing design, skate board , cultural groups, community muralists and artists and??
Just some thoughts that keep me awake at 3 am ! ;>)
