Connect South Shore
Location
Chicago
Project type
South Shore Chamber of Commerce
Date
2017-18
Developed the visual identity and promotional materials for Connect South Shore, a multidisciplinary arts and culture festival created in partnership with the South Shore Chamber of Commerce, Connect Gallery, and Silver Room. The initiative transformed vacant storefronts and public spaces along 71st Street into a vibrant marketplace celebrating local artists, musicians, designers, filmmakers, and creative entrepreneurs while encouraging investment in the South Shore community.
The branding was designed to reflect the festival's spirit of collaboration, creativity, and neighborhood pride while supporting marketing, event signage, digital promotions, and printed materials. By creating a cohesive visual identity, the project helped position South Shore as a destination for arts, culture, and community-driven economic development.
