SPARK GROUND ZERO
The last designs finally arrived at the Autodesk Gallery at One Market, site of this year's live jury. Tensions were high. As the Spark Onsite Managers Theresa Hulme and Antonio Barros can attest, the work coming in was of excellent caliber.
This team was responsible for mounting the jury and exhibition and they are the best. They needed to be, expertly sorting, artistically placing and mounting the work, organizing the tech displays --and even catering lunch for the Judges. With everything in place, the Jury arrived, revewed the Spark Mission and Criteria, learned the use of the unique Spark judging pda's and quickly went to work.

  We work in all media!
