One of the first brands we helped to develop was for a small bakery right here in our little town, Sandy Hook. It's still one of our favorites. And with his amazing breads, desserts, and sandwiches, it's certainly no surprise the amount of success Uncle Matt is having. He was recently visited by one of our new favorite photographers, Lisa Nichols, aka @bread_and_beast. Such an incredible ability to capture meaningful little moments that really help tell a story. We think it's important to remember that behind every great brand are talented people who help bring it to life, and she's one of the best. We simply cannot wait to get to work with her!
Board members met this past Sunday, at the sweet space provided by @districtnhv. Co-presidents @ijacinabear and @jordinstah led a group session with Gerrit de Vries, @rachaelconti2, @imsaraaaa, @jennyjreed, and @melanieuribe. Excited to kick off a new year of programming with AIGA CT — If you're an @aigact member, look for design goodness to come!
After two years of virtual events, the Business Supports the Arts breakfast was back in person. We're so humbled and proud to be a part of this amazing organization and signature event. How lucky are we, to get an invitation to partner with some of the most brilliant and creative minds in the area? There's no doubt the arts drive economic development, create countless opportunities for businesses, spark meaningful conversations, and bring people together. We're so glad to know that's not just our opinion. Thank you @cawct for letting us dine at your breakfast table.
This year’s “Business Supports the Arts” theme was inspired by one of our favorite artists, Jean-Michel Basquiat, who often worked wearing Armani, showing up at public events in paint-splattered suits. We used the simple black tie as a symbol of support from local businesses, and a holding device for all the different forms of art the Cultural Alliance advocates for.
We've made a pledge to support the arts. It's super easy and you get that warm feeling like being hugged by flannel in the fall. A couple of ways to do it:
1. Sign up for Create the Vote CT.
2. Check out the CT Arts Alliance survey responses to find out if your candidate also supports the arts.
3. Attend any of the Create the Vote forums happening around the state.
4. Vote on November 8th.
That's it! Learn more at ctartsalliance.org.
Congratulations to the CT Arts Alliance and Sunfish Technologies for their recent Excellence Awards in Brand Identity Design from the @thecadc! We're so luck to partner with clients that are passionate about what they do, and have a true vision for how their brand should look and act. Our design solutions are always a result of real partnership and collaboration, so we consider these plaques all yours — if you don't mind, we're just going to display them in our office for a while. 😊
