Ignite Peoria is a creative arts event in my city. It’s happened a few years now, but this was my first year attending.
Of course I had to dress creatively for the event, and had to get a picture of my fun outfit:
It’s not quite like most creative arts fairs where you attend and look at artists booths and buy so many beautiful things. It has that aspect, but it’s more interactive. There’s speakers and performances. My friend Kim and I enjoyed learning about whips – and of course discussed how to implement that into our stories 🙂
I don’t actually know how many people attended and hung wishes on the tree, but about 1000 were “Interested” in the event on Facebook, and about 500 clicked “Attending” on the Facebook event. So I figure 500 is a good estimate.
As you entered the event, there was a breathtaking display with a Wishing Tree and tables and tables of trinkets to create a visual representation of your hopes and dreams:
Kim and I created our trinkets and hung them, but the end result of so many Peoria wishes was stunning:
All in all, we had a blast and can’t wait til next year. We met some great people and had a great time exploring so many of the art forms:
Oh, and of course there was this gorgeous floral backdrop, and Kim insisted “We have to get a picture of the back of your head there!” She knows my brand, and let that be a branding lesson for you all 😉 haha
That looks like a fun event! The tree really looks pretty with all the trinkets up there. ❤️
It was very fun! such a unique experience
