MATTHEW TARRO - Denver Artist

Let’s get creative with an employee / friends and family paint and print party at the Denver store.

Hey Burton Team!

I’d like to propose either an individual print and paint party - or to be included in an existing, future event.

The goal is to bring Burton employees, friends, and family together for a creative and collaborative experience at the Denver Flagship store. An evening of interactive and engaging live screen-printing does not take any prior knowledge of the process or materials. Open to all ages!

I’ve dropped off some blank ‘Screen Design’ blank pages, but it’s also attached to the email. We’ll celebrate the winning design from the employee contest and provide a chance to craft custom, on-the-spot t-shirts. It's not just an event—it's a memorable team-building opportunity and a showcase of Burton's unique brand culture.

*I would be open to take payment for my time and expertise in hardgoods, in the form of EST men’s Step-on bindings and a pair of Anon goggles.

You may decide - If you’d like to only include Burton employees and partners, friends and family, or make it open to the public.
