About us.
We are an end-to-end, full service events management and creative agency.
Backdoor Ventures was formed in 2003 as a quest by a group of professionals within the events management, art and entertainment industry with a common vision to offer something innovative and better.
Within a month of operation, Backdoor Ventures won the trust of Microsoft, a global sales and marketing giant, to manage their Strategic Field Sales rally in 2003. Its over-all success led to a string of other events for Microsoft ranging from a consumer mall tour to a glitzy Dealers’ Awards Night at a museum – a first for the client. This is a testament to Backdoor Ventures’ winning combination of creativity and capability.
In February of 2005, we produced and organized the 1st Annual Arts & Music Festival & Trade Fair at the SM Megatrade Hall. With the support of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, the festival featured events that reflect the art and music of many cultures and historic time frames that appeal to all ages while enriching the lives of those who attended. Festival programming included musical performances from different genres, stage plays, dance performances, art film showing, workshops & art exhibit enabling the public to learn about, as well as enjoy, many rich diverse cultural experiences.
We offer out-of-the-box concepts that get tremendous recall. Equipped with knowledge in managing an expansive variety of events, from business conventions, sales rallies and concerts to stage play productions to major product launches. We are fluent in the language of events management.
We talk the talk. And most importantly, we walk the walk.
And we are ready to offer and provide you our expertise in events management and creatives.
FESTIVAL OVERVIEW:
The Backdoor Ventures Arts and Music Festival and Trade Fair
-is a Trade Fair
· it’s a first-of-its kind annual trade exposition that fuses the expansive world of
the Arts and Music with the world of commerce and business;
· it’s a one-stop-shop, buyers’-and-sellers’ market that niches on products, merchandize, supplies, and services that artists (whether
visual, graphic, performance, theatrical), art students, art lovers, gallery owners, hobbyists, musicians, music lovers would require and patronize;
· it’s a unique marketplace where the artist/musician in all of us can both be the seller (selling art) and the buyer (buying art materials) all at once and under one roof.
-is a Lifestyle Festival
· it’s a unique celebration of the Arts and Music and the lifestyle/subculture that it inspires – unique in that it has never before been celebrated in the context of a trade fair;
· it’s a venue for showcasing talent, creative expression and product innovations that appeal not only to this market segment which embodies this lifestyle but also to a broad, mass audience owing to the
universal reach of Music and the Arts
The Megatrade Hall at SM Megamall in Ortigas set the stage for a variety of music and arts programs. Considered to be the heart of the events and trade industry, Megatrade Hall is the perfect venue for holding this event since our primary objective is to educate and bring the expansive world of the Arts and Music to all social classes of the Megamall crowd.
Concert performances take place at the Stage Area inside the Hall. Concertgoers can enjoy a tour of the Art Gallery which showcases featured artists that produce and display their art, attend the free seminars and workshops in the adjacent Arts & Music Seminar Room or shop around the Exhibit Area before attending the concerts which feature jazz, rock, classical, latin rhythms, pop, ethnic/tribal, theatrical, ballet and other dance performances.
Over one hundred artists & musicians participated last year.
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES:
1. To provide the public a wide range of musical listening experiences including jazz, pop, classical, reggae, Rock, Blues, World Music and other ethnic musical styles such as flamenco and Latin Music and enrich their lives through different forms of art.
2. Continue to grow the number of cultural offerings and create a more varied program. Introduce new art forms to be performed in the venue, such as films, children’s productions, art and performing workshops, and dance.
3. Give musicians and artists the opportunity to interact, share their gifts and exhibit their work.
