The story.
A 75-year-old nonprofit arts organization came to us in need of a complete rebrand. After a deep dive with the client and on-the-ground research, Bainbridge Arts & Crafts became The Art Project. New name. New logo. New customers.
The name Bainbridge Arts & Crafts implied this community art gallery was a craft store, so it was no surprise to hear that people came in looking for art supplies. In reality, it is a nonprofit with a showroom that features the paintings and other artwork of Northwest artists. The organization also conducts a variety of outreach programs (or projects) with seniors, hospitals, and local schools. After a full audit and name exploration, we recommended a name to better tell that story, and The Art Project was born. The name also has the benefit of an acronym, TAP, that suggests they mine for, acquire, and nurture local talent.
From research to naming to logo design, Debbie and her team did a phenomenal job with my nonprofit’s rebrand. Her care and professionalism were in play from day one, and we’re thrilled with the final product. Cannot recommend Frank + Candor highly enough.
