A dream come true...
A playground for adults...
So much fun, I didn't want to leave!!
Color Factory is a two-story pop-up exhibition, a modern day wonderland. A joint venture between Jordan Ferney, the creator of the popular blog Oh Happy Day—the ultimate online party store— the creative director of Leah Rosenberg and art director of Erin Jang —two artists who specialize in creations inspired by pop culture - and renowned installation artists.
We start arriving to the rainbow fachade buiding...
Colorful lines everywhere....
Some of them in form of a wall that contained scents like "the perfect Christmas tree," my grandmother's perfume," and bubble tape.
Bay Area artist Tosha Stimage uses the color orange as an analogy for black identity in her works. She collected goldfish, cheese puffs, and other orange objects for this installation at The Color Factory.
Berry-colored balloons in the blue room look like a storm clouds in a night sky.
Ferney, the creator, had her heart set on getting holographic flooring for the disco room. The only supplier she could find was a gentleman's club located on the Las Vegas Strip.
Ready for painting?
The green room took the adult-coloring phenomenon to new lengths. Ferney said they have to paint the room white and fill in a stencil for a fresh canvas every few days.
Swedish artist Jacob Dahlgren created an installation made of up 10,000 multi-colored ribbons hanging from the ceiling in a grid.
Perfect place to hide and lost yourself... So much fun!!!
Pink dreams... Walking through the colors...
One of my favorite was the confetti room, where bits of paper fell from the ceiling and piled on the floor.
Let the rain of confetti cover you....
Blowing some confetti...
Purple Rain...
British artist Tom Stayte embraced the selfie in his installation. A printer at the room's center spit out real posts from Instagram tagged with the word "#selfie."
The grand finale at The Color Factory is a massive ball pit filled with 207,000 yellow balls...
Imagine you are swimming on a big bowl of lemons...
Jump into the pool....
And is there a better way to finish this experience than with an ice-cream?? :)
Thanks to the Color Factory for a super mega fun experience!!!
