Since graduating from the Entertainment Business Management?program last summer, Gloria Bernal has created her own event planning company and launched Lab Art Show. An exhibition of everything from film to music to sculpture to dance, Lab Art Show was created for artists to showcase their talents and network with audience members. We spoke with Gloria about how VFS helped her find her true calling.
Tell us about your experience at VFS.
Gloria: The Entertainment Business Management program at VFS helped me figure out what I really wanted to do and experience in my career. I studied Marketing in Guadalajara, Mexico, and worked in various media-related industries, but I always wanted to develop entertainment.
During the program, we had to develop several projects in a very short period of time. As I was working with students from many different countries, it was very interesting and creative. These projects taught me how to negotiate, produce concepts quickly, and work with designers, producers, companies, and musicians. Most importantly, it helped me create connections within the city of Vancouver as well as learn how to create business in North America.
VFS opened up a new perspective for the creation of projects, whether for a film or developing specific events. I liked the teamwork aspect because together we could achieve and develop extraordinary things. VFS showed me how to plan and organize a better event and it has been a great support to me now that I?m developing Lab Art Show.
What are the Lab Art Shows? What is your role within the event?
Gloria: I developed the Lab Art Show as my final project in Entertainment Business Management. During my year at VFS, I realized that I wanted to become an event planner so I created my own company, Glitz Entertainment.
Glitz produces quality events, creative solutions, and innovative ideas for a corporation or an individual in need of an event planner. At the Lab Art Shows, we exhibit different styles of art ? short film, music, audiovisual presentations, painting, sculpture, acting, contemporary dance, animation, fashion shows, and more. It?s a place where the audience can network with different types of artists and the artists can showcase their talent.
I do the planning, coordination, and production of the show as well as the advertising and marketing.
Check out the video below for a look at what Lab Art Show is all about.
What has been the involvement of VFS students in these events?
Gloria: Last year, we showed various animations, short films, and illustrations created by VFS students. After the show, we contacted all the participants to get feedback on how we could improve the event and see how many pieces each artist sold. We found out that most of the artists sold several of their pieces and other participants got jobs as a result of the show.
This is why we invite students to participate ? so that they can connect with other people. In a city like Vancouver, you can meet people from all around the world.
When is the next Lab Art Show? How can people get involved?
Gloria: Glitz Entertainment presents Lab Art Show 2, a celebration of expression that explores the ever changing and evolving world of art as a platform for artist growth. The event will be held at Heritage Hall in Vancouver on Thursday, April 11 and Friday, April 12 from 6:00pm to Midnight. An Open Gallery will be held April 12 from 10:00am to 3:00pm.
VFS students are invited to be a part of the show in various ways. They can submit their own projects to exhibit at the event or they can be a part of the production. We are currently looking for a music technician, lighting technician, an emcee, performers, and event volunteers.
Those interested in participating can email me at gloria@glitz-entertainment.com.
Thanks, Gloria. Best of luck with Lab Art Show 2!
