Profile

What has over a quarter century designing and building stages around the world taughtBartnes and Associates?

Flexibility and Teamwork.

Adapting to the needs of the planet, Bartnes and Associates has staged events from the North Pole to the Sinai Dessert.

Our areas of expertise run from lighting, video and stage design to operation, technical direction and production management.

We can supply lighting, audio, visuals, staging, and the crew, from stage management, to the truck drivers who deliver it on time.

We do not do this alone.

We are supported by a team of suppliers and contractors who have proven their dedication.

No staging presents a challenge that cannot be solved and brought in on budget.
