Carl George has been a consultant and event producer to retailers, art galleries, corporations and restaurateurs for more than 20 years.

Born and raised in Canada, Carl George moved to New York City in 1980 where he soon became actively involved in the city’s art and nascent underground club scenes.  During this time, Carl produced several experimental films that are exhibited internationally and are now part of the permanent collections at the Whitney, the Guggenheim, the New York Public Library and the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA).

Carl was also a founding member and artistic collaborator of Performance On One Leg (POOL), which pioneered the concept of transforming dance clubs into performance space.  Throughout the 1980s and early nineties, POOL performed its unique brand of “theatre” in clubs, galleries and public spaces, in both urban centers in the United States and around the world.

While still actively involved in the East Village avant-garde art scene, Carl became involved in the fashion industry, ultimately working as an event and fashion show producer.  His first fashion show was for the launch of Fendi, North America.  He then acquired luxury brand clients Yves Saint Laurent, Courrèges, Charles Jourdan and Armani – solidly establishing himself as one of the premier event producers in New York, specializing in fashion, beauty, culture and the arts.

For more than fifteen years, Carl George traveled nationally and internationally, designing and producing launch parties, events, and public relations tours for some of the world’s best-known corporations and brands including Proctor & Gamble, Estee Lauder, Prescriptives, Origins, Joop!, Cool Water, Sara Lee, Jil Sander, Vogue, Vanity Fair, and the Museum of Modern Art.

In 1998, Carl opened his West-Coast office in Los Angeles, California.  Once established, he rapidly acquired such clients as The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Sony, Disney, Warner Brothers, Courvoisier, Chambord, Jeremy Scott, Guess?, AT&T Wireless, LEXUS, Mercedes-Benz, Pacific Design Center, Platinum Guild International and numerous private clients.

Since 1984, Rich Morrissey has been producing charity and fund raising events for non-profit organizations in Los Angeles, New York, Miami and Bogotá, Colombia. Along with his producing partner, two time Tony and Emmy Award winning producer Barry Brown, he has worked with a stellar list of personalities including Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters, Angela Lansbury, Taylor Dayne, Lilly Tomlin, Marilyn and Alan Bergman and Rosie O’Donnell to name a few.  To date, Rich has raised well over 2 million dollars for philanthropic causes. 

Born in Ohio, Rich moved to Bogotá, Colombia in 1984 after completing a dual major in Psychology and International Relations with a minor in Spanish at Michigan State University.  In Bogotá, he taught high school English and Theater for 3 years.  During this time in Colombia, he witnessed a country plagued by poverty, corruption and violence.  His philanthropic efforts began here.  With his sister, he co-founded Forjar, a foundation that provides housing, medical care and family support to impoverished children of Colombia with terminally ill diseases.  The foundation is still administrated by members of Rich’s family.

In 1986 Rich moved to California where he earned an MBA from Pepperdine University.  For the last 18 years, while not engaged in his philanthropic efforts, he successfully managed Career Options, which is the largest vocational consulting company in California, responsible for returning more than 2000 injured workers back to meaningful work and careers each year.

In 2006, Rich partnered with Carl George of LUXEVENTS offering excellent business management and marketing skills, first rate corporate and celebrity contacts and years of event production experience.
