ABOUT US

RECENT WORK
NASHVILLE ZOO:
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
The Nashville Zoo Chinese Lantern Festival was our first year of cooperation together, in Nashville, TN. Our partnership with Nashville Zoo, 2019/2020, attracted more than 150,000 people. The exhibition was called Zoolumination, and is presently considered the largest Chinese Lantern Festival operating in the USA. This was a multi theme creation, with Christmas village, Chinese elements, and Animals/Plant Life. Our partnershsip with Nashville Zoo Zoolumination has developed into an annual tradition, with many more years ahead. We will continue to change themes, and enhance both our brands together, creating more incredible themes, to give the city of Nashville, a larger, and fresher look each year.



JUNGLE ISLAND:
MIAMI, FLORIDA
In 2019/2020, it was our first year of cooperation with Jungle Island, in Miami, FL. The exhibition was called "Luminosa'', taking on a very Miami/South Florida Theme. Luminosa is just part 1 of what will be, an annual tradition inside Miami for many years to come. Our Jungle Island Chinese Lantern Festival Luminosa exhibition gathered almost 100,000 people. Our combined efforts shocked Miami, as being the first, only, and largest handcrafted artistic lumination exhibition in the entire state of Florida. This was truly the most unique Chinese Lantern Festival operating in the world. We are proud of our creativity coupled with our flexible ability to develop any theme imaginable.

''In Gaillac, a town of 18,000, Gausserand had to find private sponsors to cover the costs, and he wasn’t even sure if people would come. But 250,000 people attended last year’s inaugural edition – an “enormous surprise” to town authorities which brought a windfall of €1 million (US$1.15 million).'' South China Morning Post

真了不起!法国的一个名为“ 盖拉克”的小镇,人口约1.4万人,与自贡燈彩集团合作中国灯会,来宣传这个法国小镇。合作的第二年,该活动吸引了37.5万多人来到法国盖拉克小镇。
”在拥有18,000个城镇的盖拉克(Gaillac),高瑟兰德(Gausserand)必须找到私人赞助商来支付费用,他甚至不确定人们是否会来。但是有25万人参加了去年的首届活动,这给镇政府带来了“巨大惊喜”,带来了100万欧元(115万美元)的意外收入。”《南华早报》
