Virginia Center for the Creative Arts

When planning a silent auction to help celebrate their 40th Anniversary celebration, the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts knew they didn't want to settle for anything less than the best.  So they knew exactly who to call when they began planning a silent auction on the grounds of Casa de Maria.  They wanted to seat 200 guests and put a tent over a 20' tall statue, no small feat.  We decided that our ESpan would be the perfect fit for this install.  

It was in a tricky spot to say the least, approximately 65'x65', we couldn't use a Lull and had to raise the large bays by hand. 

Impressive view of the 60'x60' ESpan from across the grounds

Blue Ridge Light Forms provided an impressive lighting package to
really set the mood for the night.


A custom gable end 20'x50' allowed us to seamlessly connect the
entrance tent to the main 60'x60'

You Have Rain, We Have Tents


A little rain isn't going to spoil this party

100'x200' Losberger for Private Event



Setting up a private event for 1,200 people in the middle of downtown Richmond is no easy task. But when our client started planning their event, they knew just who to call. So we loaded up our trucks with tents, flooring, tables, chairs, and linens, and jumped on 95 headed for Richmond Center Stage.

The first step is lining up and leveling the baseplates to make
sure everything else runs smooth.

As if the tent itself wasn't enough, we laid down over 20,000 sq. ft. of flooring along with numerous other catering and entrance tents. 


We made custom sidewall to allow the gable 15x20 connecter
to flow seamlessly into the Losberger



 When the client wanted A/C, we knew that Aggreko would have exactly what was needed to do the job


The Finished Product

We couldn't help ourselves from making our way to the
top of the building across the street for some prime pictures.

Nice view down Broad Street



40x75 E-Span


Here is a quick video of us setting up a 40'x75' E-Span at what seems like a second home , the VCU Student Activities Center.


Woodberry Forrest School

Back in late April we loaded up our trucks and headed to beautiful Orange, Va to set-up one of the first 80x120's of the season.  We brought along our friends from Blue Ridge Light Forms to do the lighting and center pole treatments.  








April Showers Bring BIG TENTS?????


Here is a clip of the setup we did for a private event in downtown Richmond last month.  We were racing against the rain during the entire set-up but we still managed to finish this massive tent on-time.
