Starry Starry Night / Trailing of the Sheep (Laura Drake)

“Easy, flexible, and vibrant well-received by our guests and helped us raise more funds.”

Goal: Engage the audience in a new, innovative way for the closing keynote.
Approach: Annika Wooton created three multi-faceted paintings live while six TED-style talks rotated on stage, syncing transitions and cues with the show caller.
Outcome: A standing ovation climax and visible “ripple effect” of excitement across the academia crowd post-session.

Goal: Deliver a big, in-arena moment within a 5-minute halftime window.
Approach: Annika Wooton staged a bold, silhouette-driven concept timed to game ops; composed to read cleanly on the jumbotron and from upper levels.
Outcome: Strong fan response, smooth cueing with game operations, and highly shareable clips for socials.

Goal: Lift donor energy and emotional engagement just before the live auction begins.
Approach: Annika Wooton painted a community-aligned piece during the program and finished just before the auction, giving the auctioneer a perfect launch point.
Outcome: Competitive bidding, elevated room energy, and an invitation to return.
