Brand Event on the Water at McCormick Place, Chicago

A multi-deck boat docked beside McCormick Place was the venue for a brand event on August 4, 2026. Each of the four levels offered something different: a dining spread on the first, a piano player and casino tables on the second, and a band, dance floor and bar on the third, where our two artists were set up.

Across from the sketching table, another station was laser-engraving initials onto luggage tags, and the top deck had a cigar roller working by hand next to a second bar. Guests moved between the levels all evening and came back to the sketching line in waves.

The fashion sketches fit naturally with the rest of the program. Guests kept them as a souvenir from the night, and one asked about bringing the studio to an event in Dallas.
