Ellen’s Silkscreening operations manager Howard recently attended the Museum Store Association Western Chapter’s latest conference in Phoenix, AZ. Conference attendees had the opportunity to visit some of Phoenix’s top museums, including the Phoenix Art Museum, Heard Museum, Taliesin West, and the Musical Instrument Museum.
We hope your day is full of gentle tricks and tasty treats! If you’re not 100% ready to celebrate the day, stop by Ellen’s for a fun jack-o-lantern t-shirt.
Thank you to our wonderful triplet pumpkin t-shirt models and their skeleton modelling friend, as well as our neighbor The Dinosaur Farm for letting us take a picture in front of their spooky Halloween display!
The South Pasadena Woman’s Club honored Ellen’s Silkscreening founder Ellen Daigle by presenting her with their Shining Star Award at their recent Fall Fashion Show and Luncheon. Ellen is only the second person to receive the Shining Star Award from the Woman’s Club.
“The Shining Star Award isn’t presented annually — it’s when we find someone who is deserving, and that person is Ellen,” said Woman’s Club Committee Member Sherry Plotkin. “She is persistent, driven and consistently helps others in so many ways.”
“I’m thrilled to be a Shining Star,” said Ellen. “The joy of building a business has been creative, exciting and very hard work. It’s been a wonderful and amazing journey. I’m so honored and happy to see my friends and so many women who have contributed so much to this community and to the world. Thank you all for making this amazing day possible.”
Since 1977, the Los Angeles Philharmonic has celebrated the work of renowned film composer John Williams with live concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. Williams himself has been conducting the LA Phil at these special performances since 1978.
Ellen’s Silkscreening recently helped the Hollywood Bowl get ready for it’s annual John Williams concert by screen printing a beautiful full color design of the iconic Star Wars Death Star floating over the Bowl. While Ellen’s doesn’t have quite as long a history with the Bowl as John Williams, we just celebrated the 16th anniversary of our partnership with the Bowl.
To read more about the history of John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl, the LA Phil has a great piece on their site.
MOCA (Los Angeles’s own Museum of Contemporary Art) has been stepping up their retail offerings over the past several months, offering a range of on-trend goods from Ellen’s Silkscreening.
When Lark Seeds and Admiral Seeds had a big event on the horizon that needed some sophisticated promotional items, they came to Ellen’s Silkscreening.
Ellen’s was able to put together a suite of custom and coordinating items for both companies that put their logos front and center on beautiful, handy items, such as mugs, water bottles, notebooks, and pens.
Exciting things are happening at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles (an Ellen’s customer since 2013). They recently began a full renovation of the museum which will add over 40,000 square feet of galleries and exhibition space, as well as public spaces, more offices, and a brand new museum store. The Hammer Museum plans to have their renovations complete by 2020, just in time for their 30th anniversary.
