Illuminate
Kelley O’Brien Events scored a big touch down when we were asked to partner with San Francisco PR prim Spritz to produce the Bay Bridge Lights event. The event was broadcast live to kick off the Super Bowl in the Bay Area, with both CBS and Super Bowl 50 Host Committee as partners.
SHINE IT FORWARD PROGRAM: Illuminate created the Shine It Forward Program, where one can donate and personalize a light on the Bay Bridge to honor a friend, family member, loved one, or business, and yes, Kelley O’Brien Events has a light which will shine on the Bay Bridge forever!
THE LARGEST LED SCULPTURE: The Bay Lights is a 1.8 miles wide and 500 feet high LED light sculpture. Inspired by the Bay Bridge’s 75th Anniversary, artist Leo Villareal created a never- repeating, dazzling display of 25,000 LED white lights. On January 30, 2016, the sculpture was gifted to the People of California forever.
MISSION: ILLUMINATE aims to alter the arc of human history through the creation of transformational works of public art with civic impact, local activation and global reach to stimulate a culture of generosity and collaboration.
