Installations
BARK ON THE BOARDWALK
An immersive treat and photo experience created in collaboration with Dog Bar Bay Area in Pleasanton, CA. Five fitting rooms were transformed into different photo booths for dogs reminiscent of a boardwalk experience.
CANDY SHOP
Giant salt water taffies and cotton candy float overhead in our version of a candy shop. Pink walls and checkered vinyl floors complete the look! For an interactive touch, we installed a treat dispenser (to the left) to dole out colorful treats!
HOT DOG STAND
This room featured a handmade hot dog stand complete with a scalloped awning and a punch needle hot dog. Mustard yellow walls and flying condiments made for an extra fun photo op! Furry visitors also received a droolworthy cheese dog!
SODA POP
A giant soda bottle hung overhead in our soda shop room! Iridescent “barkling soda” streamers and bubbles added sparkle, while the mint walls and white stripes were a nod to retro soda fountains. Pups practiced their nose work, sniffing out treats from under a stack of plastic cups.
PRIZES AND PLUSHIES
We used prize tickets, toy nets, and plushies to turn our second largest room into a pup’s prize paradise! The layered ticket backdrop and striped ticket floor were made for selfies. Pups posed amongst the plushies and had a squeaky good time!
WATER RIDE
Our last photo room took parents and pups on an underwater adventure! Blaire designed and painted the under the sea mural and constructed a submarine-inspired structure around the existing bench seat.
Iridescent jellyfish, overhead netting, marine props, and a pre-recorded boarding message completed the experience. Pups were also treated to edible bubbles dispensed from a bubble machine.
ENTRANCE AND HALLWAY
The entrance to the exhibit was labeled with a marquee “Bark” sign and vinyl lettering. We draped pink netting on each side and hung seaside elements in pastel colors.
The floors were covered in sheets that looked like colored wood planks and more pink netting was hung overhead. Each room had it’s own sign and audio buttons featuring coordinating music or sounds.
