Treasure Island Music Festival

Treasure Island Music Festival

On October 17th and 18th associates from the Blick Art Materials stores in Berkeley and Oakland, CA attended the Treasure Island Music Festival. This festival is one of the largest of its kind in Northern California and draws popular independent music acts from around the country. Held on a man-made island in the San Francisco Bay, Treasure Island Music Festival also featured a variety of other exhibits and activities.

Spray Painting and Sumi Activities

Spray Painting and Sumi Activities

Blick was excited to supply materials for the art area, which included spray painting and Sumi ink demos. The Blick Art Materials booth was in a neighboring location, so our staff was in the perfect spot to be in on all the fun. Our prize wheel was a huge hit and visitors took home goodies like free t-shirts, product samples, and discounts for store purchases. Thanks to the Blick employees for working the festival and to everyone who stopped by the booth! And of course, thank you to the Treasure Island Music Festival for making this opportunity possible.
