"Team Steam" takes on Product Runway



Step aside, Heidi Klum, GGLO is on the runway.

GGLO’s “Team Steam” is participating in Product Runway, a fundraiser for the Interior Design Coalition of Washington (IDCW) to raise awareness about the interior design profession and licensing efforts. “Team Steam” consists of 11 GGLO staff, a student from BCC and our randomly-selected Seattle-based product representatives from Atlas Carpet Mills. The challenge for this event is to take the product we were matched up with – carpet – and create a fabulous garment for our model to showcase down the runway.

Product Runway is being held Friday, May 2, 2008 at the South Lake Union Naval Reserve. Ticket and event information, as well as a sneak peek at the celebrity judges, can be found on the Product Runway website.

Get swept off your feet with Ooo La La!



Come join us for our magical May Day celebration!

In conjunction with downtown Seattle’s monthly First Thursday Art Walk on May 1st, GGLO and 4Culture will present Ooo La La, a lively interactive two-hour-long public performance event created by artist Lucia Neare.

The Harbor Steps will be transformed into the celebratory and whimsical atmosphere of a luxury cruise ship from the 1920s, with a live orchestra, bubblegum-snapping Brooklyn bellboys, lovesick British maids, French waiters with a secret, and many more surprises from a cast of almost 200 of Seattle’s sweetest actors, dancers and musicians.

This public performance art event celebrates GGLO’s commitment and ongoing work to create great civic places for public art and community. GGLO staff will be joining the extravaganza in costume so you won’t want to miss it!
