Whether it’s a festival, gallery opening, community celebration, or corporate experience, we build events that feel cohesive, human, and alive.

Art Curation & Creative Placemaking

Art can transform spaces, neighborhoods, and how people feel when they arrive.

Through his work with the NoBo Art District, Nod has curated exhibitions, coordinated public art projects, and activated creative spaces that invite participation rather than passive viewing.

We can support:

Gallery exhibitions and pop-up shows

Public art projects and murals

Artist commissions for homes or businesses

Community-centered creative programming

Creative installations for events or venues

If you want your space to feel more vibrant, thoughtful, and original, we’ll help you find the right artist and the right approach.

Live Music Booking & Talent Curation

Music is the heartbeat of great gatherings.

We help you find the right sound for your event — from intimate solo performances to full bands, DJs, or custom ensembles.

Tell us:

the vibe

the audience

the space

your budget

…and we’ll curate options that fit.

We also specialize in pairing local artists with the right stages, helping you support the creative ecosystem while elevating your event.

3Parts Private Events

Gourmet Pizza • Craft Cocktails • Curated Tunes

Some parties are planned. The best ones feel orchestrated.

3Parts Private Events brings together food, drink, and music into one seamless, hosted experience for private celebrations.

At the center is Prizza, Jim Heekin’s mobile, wood-fired pizza operation — serving blistered, smoky, handcrafted pies made fresh on site.

Alongside the oven, Nod Norkus runs a TIPS-certified craft bar, offering thoughtfully designed cocktails, beer & wine service, or signature drinks tailored to your event.

Tying it all together, the two provide a curated soundtrack, blending their roles as frontman and backbeat of the alt-Americana band, Sun Jr. into a playlist that reads the room in real time, shifting from sunset grooves to dance-floor energy as the night unfolds.

It’s more than catering.
It’s a roaming, fire-lit gathering point where people eat, drink, move, and connect.

Ideal for:

Backyard celebrations

Small weddings & milestone parties

Intimate gatherings

Private concerts or after-shows

Late-night festivities

Choose your mix, and we’ll shape the experience around it:

Classic Neapolitan or creative seasonal pizzas

Craft cocktails, beer & wine, or custom signatures

Chill ambient sets or high-energy dance tracks

Three elements. One unforgettable night.
