Led by Hanley Ange, with support from Daniel Mariotti and Kara Roschi, Tuning Fork delivered arts planning, project management, design coordination, and installation oversight. The team worked closely with the artists and artworks of Zach Valent, Ivan Martinez, Tomás J Stanton, and Daniella Napolitano to align with the City’s vision for a welcoming public space. Tuning Fork coordinated timelines, communications, stakeholder collaboration, production details, and final presentation, ensuring a cohesive and well-executed activation. Documentation of the project was provided by the City of Mesa.

Tuning Fork Projects provided project administration support for Bobby Zokaites’ sculpture practice (2018-2025), helping sustain and grow a studio centered on large-scale, colorful, interactive objects and spaces. Tuning Fork generated and tracked leads for public and private art opportunities, developed and maintained project timelines and budgets, and managed core studio communications across email, phone, social media, and web platforms. Tuning Fork trained and supervised interns and new employees while building practical tools and systems that strengthened long-term studio sustainability. This administrative and operational support allowed the studio to stay responsive to new opportunities, maintain momentum across active projects, and support the continued production of ambitious sculptural work with greater clarity, consistency, and organizational capacity.

The work included coordinating a vinyl graphic installation that extended up the new stairway, creating a display of vintage Stinkweeds t-shirts, and organizing a photo wall showcasing the bands that performed at Stinkweeds locations over the years. By managing these components of the remodel, Tuning Fork helped translate Stinkweeds’ legacy into a visual environment that celebrates its role as a longtime cultural space while supporting the character and identity of the newly expanded store.
