2026
Welcome to Gemar’s collection of dreams shaped from air, colours, flowers and imagination. Here, balloon art transforms our expectations and experience, inspiring wonder and emotions, a true celebration of Gemar in full bloom.
Every creation begins as a balloon but becomes something far greater:
a sensation, a smile, a feeling that floats and lingers.
We are the dreamers, the bloomers, the ones that blossom with a passion that takes flight, we make more than balloons we make moments.
This year we invite you to Lift, Bloom and Shine!
2025
Gemar presents G Couture, the 2025 calendar that transforms creative expression. A project where balloons become art, born from the collaboration between Gemar and designer Giada Curti.
Each month reveals an extraordinary chapter: balloons are no longer decorative objects, but imaginary fabrics that come to life thanks to the talent and expertise of Gemar’s master artists, challenging the boundaries between reality and fantasy. G Couture celebrates an unexpected dialogue between artistry, innovation, and haute couture.
“We’re not creating a simple calendar,” explains a Gloria Veta Chief Brand officer at Gemar, “but a manifesto of boundless creativity. A project where balloons become the language of infinite possibility.”
More than a visual experience, G Couture is an invitation to reimagine, dream, and see the world through a lens where creativity knows no boundaries.
2024
Gemar balloons are used in all kinds of contexts, our “Lifting the Moment” has expanded from events, to fashion, entertainment, and art.
Art is the interpretation of what we live and what surrounds us, it is the ultimate expression of our imagination and at Gemar we try to do this through balloons. Imagining something capable of stimulating emotions through light and colour, a concept in which balloons become the work of art led us to discover the world of Lodola.
Meeting Marco was exciting, we share a vision of an illuminated world full of joy and colour. Defined as a neo-futurist artist, his colours, style, and positive energy led us to create a collaboration in which Gemar balloons shine with a new light, that of master Lodola.
Thanks to our team of talented individuals once again we turned imagination into reality.
Lodola’s works and Gemar balloons bring to life a new concept of art where the whole is greater than its parts, illuminating the moment – lighting the moment!
2023
To celebrate 2023, we chose the theme “imagine” as we continue to dream about a better future.
Imagination is the beginning of creation, and what better way to create than with a spectacular team of balloon artists.
Gemar and Gemar USA team, Gemar Masters, Ambassadors and Talent from every part of the globe assembled to turn the inspiration into reality.
Everything we created is meant to inspire, from the unique location, Castello Boncompagni-Viscogliosi, perched on top of a waterfall, to the atmospheric colours and the sheer joy of being together again after such a long time.
We hope you will enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it.
We make more than balloons. We make moments.
2022
They say “no man is an island” and in 2022 we revel in being together again, where once we kept apart. Inspired by the outpouring of love we have witnessed around the world, we celebrate with families of all shapes and sizes as they are finally able to be together again. Every family is more than the sum of its parts, each individual bringing their own energy to contribute to the whole. So it is with the 2022 calendar, bringing together the talents of Giada, Cira and our own Gloria to create something truly spectacular.

2021
The 2021 calendar saw us working with fashion designer Giada Curti. The collaboration gave us the perfect opportunity to play with colour, texture and techniques in search of something utterly unique.
There is a beauty found in the small things in life, in the everyday, and this is reflected in the artwork we created for every page. Together we use the beauty of life to lift, not just the moment, but the year.
2020
As passionate believers in rewarding talent, we want to invest in the artists of the future.
With this in mind, in 2019 we challenged the students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Frosinone (Italy) to design 12 balloon installations, inspired by the 12 months of the year. We weren’t quite sure what to expect and as the entries came in, we were blown away by the variety and skill shown.
It certainly wasn’t easy to choose a winner but eventually 21-year-old Beray Unlutas took first prize. Her designs showed a wonderful lightness and this was never lost as they were brought to life by our masters.
2019
The signs of the zodiac have been illustrated in many ways and the 2019 calendar was our chance to add to that rich history.
We developed our own illustrations for each of the signs and the Gemar® Masters brought them to life with all the passion and creativity we have come to expect.
The result was twelve unique sculptures, each one a perfect example of the art of balloon sculpture.
2018
In 2018 our inspiration was drawn from a balloon art technique instead of a subject.
The organic technique results in sculptures with a wonderful movement and we wanted to capture and celebrate this distinctive style.
We chose a symbol that we felt represented the spirit of each month and created beautiful live sculptures, each with a very special character.
2017
From daffodils to roses, nothing reflects the turning of the year better than the familiar coming and going of flowers in the gardens and countryside around us.
Inspired by the meanings given to different flowers through the centuries, our Gemar® Masters used the “fantasy flowers” technique to create beautiful blooms for each month.
This calendar is a true work of art, with glowing colours and astounding detail in every piece.
2016
The tree of life sculpture was created at Expo 2015, as part of our anniversary celebrations. Rooted in the solid earth as we are rooted in a history that spans four generations, still the branches of the tree reach for the stars and a future of inspiration and innovation.
2015
We may be based in Italy but the Gemar® family is spread around the globe and the first Gemar® calendar was a celebration of that special connection. Each month saw a different landmark brought to life through the magic of balloon sculpture and perfectly captured as a postcard.
When someone sends a postcard they capture a moment in time, a few lines is all it takes to send the joy of a holiday back to loved ones at home. We hope that our postcards reflected the importance of celebrating, remembering and lifting every moment.
The Gemar calendar is much more than a simple means of connecting the company to its distributors. Every year, the calendar becomes both a work of art and a means of communication that tells the story of Gemar, a story based on creativity, passion and innovation.
The calendar is the meeting point between the company and the art world, and every edition has a different and unique theme. These themes are not chosen at random, but reflect the values, mission and development of Gemar over the years. From reflections on sustainability to celebrations of the beauty and artistry of balloon art, each calendar is a visual and emotional journey through the Gemar universe.
Each year, Gemar works with a different artist to create a calendar that not only marks the passing of time, but also inspires and tells a story. Artists such as Marco Lodola, famous for his bright and colourful works, have contributed to turning the calendar into a genuine source of inspiration. Collaboration with artists of this stature does not just elevate the artistic value of the calendar, but also strengthens the image of Gemar as a company that supports and promotes creativity.
The Gemar Calendar thus becomes a collector’s item, enthusiastically awaited every year by the company’s distributors and partners. It is a way of staying connected, sharing in Gemar’s vision and celebrating together balloon art and art and beauty in all their forms.
The calendar is the culmination of a journey taken with the balloon art masters to celebrate the love, passion and dedication to this marvellous art form, thanks also to the extreme versatility and variety of shapes and colours:
The variety of products presented in the calendars, such as the birthday balloons, event balloons, baby balloons, baby shower balloons, love balloons, wedding balloons, anniversary balloons, special occasion balloons, religious celebration balloons, Halloween balloons, air fill balloons, water balloons, heart-shaped balloons, and punch balls, is intended to inspire both balloon artists and our distributors.
A variety designed to inspire both balloon artists and our distributors, offering a comprehensive overview of the endless creative possibilities offered by Gemar balloons. Gemar balloons are on sale in the shop.
