Taking art on the road

NOMAD Art Studio is a nonprofit that provides free, high-quality artistic opportunities to people in underserved communities. With four programs, NOMAD empowers individuals of all ages and backgrounds to express themselves and explore the world in new and exciting ways.

However, research has shown that while many know about the iconic art bus, they are unaware of NOMAD's full range of programs and services. NOMAD expressed the original “bus-heavy” branding and original “NOMAD Art Bus” name overshadowed their other programs.

BRANDING

Visual Updates

NOMAD Art Studio needed a visual identity rebrand to better align its brand identity with its evolving values and target audience. NOMAD expressed their previous branding felt outdated and not relevant to their desired image.

By incorporating elements of their roots to the art bus and creating a more youthful, positive, and playful visual identity, NOMAD can better connect with their audience while maintaining a high level of professionalism.

MARKETING

Social Media

As a nonprofit organization that relies heavily on community support, NOMAD Art Studio recognized the importance of maintaining an active and engaging presence on social media to better connect with its audience and increase awareness about its programs and services.

NOMAD's updated social media strategy not only provided a fresh and cohesive look, but it also included engaging and informative content that matched the new branding. The organization utilized eye-catching graphics, colorful images, and creative captions that highlighted their four programs and many events.
