Shivani was the Creator, Executive Producer & Curator of FUNKSHÖN. Shivani secured partners, generated sponsorship deals and successfully executed a strategic marketing campaign via TV, radio, print, online and grassroots initiatives. She cultivated artist relationships, directed exhibition lay-out and installation, and managed the event. Funkshön took place pre-social media in October 2002 in Edmonton, Canada, and was well-attended with over 450 guests.
FUNKSHÖN was the ultimate Art Show / Party. The purpose of this large-scale live event was to celebrate artists and salute those devoted to creativity. Artists worldwide were invited to submit their works, which included painting, photography, multimedia, sculpture, illustration, film, theatre, poetry and music. This exhibition truly became a unique experience with a tangible energy.
