A Hello from UV/FX,
This month's news and photos are profiling two hot new projects!

Caracas Pop Festival
The team producing the Caracas Pop festival were looking for something visually striking to cover their two 30' x 50' speaker stacks.
The mid-March 5-day event was held this year bordering a national park. UV/FX designed and painted two 30'x50' matching forested themed drops on sharkstooth scrim for maximum sound transmission over the speakers. The art was exposed to UV light at different times during the event and was a real crowd pleaser. In this design there are many lighting options, as the art will take colors nicely and then under full UV light, the night scene and CPF logo magically appears.

UV/FX has completed one of the largest scenic paintings ever painted and certainly the largest UV painting. At 33' x 600'+, the painting is for the finale of the new Stardust show at the Cite of Sciences Museum in Paris and is used with different lighting and even lasers before going to full UV. The art is a complicated ambient painting connected to the theme of the show and transforms to a completely different painting under UV light. This large Dual Image painting was painting in 5 pieces on muslin in the UV/FX facility and shipped to Paris for the January opening of this permanent show. "Very Impressive" are the words we've heard most, describing the show and specifically our work.
See you next month when we will be bring you a special expanded issue profiling our groundbreaking work at the brand new Dollywood Museum.

Until then…
