Arts in Bushwick (AIB) is a community-based volunteer arts organization based in Brooklyn’s Bushwick neighborhood, which boasts one of the city’s most highly-populated artist communities. Since 2007, AIB organizes a series of arts festivals, the largest being Bushwick Open Studios which basically turns the entire neighborhood into an art-gallery-cum-block-party for an entire weekend to kick off the summer.

The organization approached me this spring to lead the design for this year’s festival collateral, including the website, festival brochure and extra print advertisements. They already had a fairly strong visual identity and I wanted to bring that identity forward, add some depth to this year’s design and utilize the organizations vibrant colors.
