Between the Twists

Scott Tripp

​

What defines art? Is it technique and skill? Aesthetic beauty? An emotional response? Throughout history, art has been used as a powerful tool to promote ideologies, push agendas, and challenge authority. 

 

Part TEDtalk, part QnA, and part interactive demonstration, Scott Tripp takes you down the fascinating and important history of balloon art, and encourages the evolution of our art form into something with purpose and meaning. You’ll learn how a sick child in a hospital bed led to a whole new art form, and how we can use the successes and failures of our past to elevate our future. 

 

With a heavy emphasis of creativity and imagination, we’ll discuss adding meaning and purpose to your designs to elicit a higher emotional response, navigate the complex path of moving from technician to artist, and even peek into the famous Scott Tripp collection of rare and fascinating balloons, affectionately referred to as “The Hoard.”
