REFRESHED, RENEWED, REINTRODUCED |
|
|
As we kicked off 2020, we embarked on a journey that would refresh our brand to honor the organization's maturity while keeping our friendly voice and the accessibility inherent in our core ideology: All the Arts for All of Us.
We started our process in February with a renewed color palette that reflects the colors of Cape Cod with a modern twist. The jewel-tone palette represents the Cultural Center as a jewel within the community, something we have heard from so many of you, our supporters, and biggest fans.
We have moved to a deep peacock blue that you will see throughout our campus way-finding signage, stationery, and new website. To build out a palette that represents our brand's personality, we brought in a teal reminiscent of our beautiful waters, a yellow that reminds us of sunrise, burgundy depicting a favorite seafood, lobster. We rounded out the palette with a marsh green and deep hydrangea purple.
We paired down and simplified our font collection to make our materials more comfortable to read and incorporated those into the logo, which now always includes our tagline.
As more people search for content on social media, we now create unique artwork for each offering at the Center, applying our new color palette to different subjects or types of content to create a subconscious road map to ease your navigation.
As progress is often led by necessity, we realized we needed a suite of iconography to make our content more accessible. You have probably noticed the icons in THE WEEKLY MUSE. These will be incorporated throughout our collateral, both printed and digital.
And, drum roll, please—we heard you—we need a better experience through our website!
We have completely redesigned our web experience and will be launching a beta version before the end of September. The new website will bring all of our brand elements together into a modern, easy-to-use platform, providing you with content you want and a powerful assistant to help you stay connected with us into the future.
Because you are at the heart of this work, we will need your feedback. So, after the launch, browse the website—click, scroll, and play through the news pages and the classes, browse the art galleries and blog posts, explore the education offerings and upcoming live events—and tell us what you think! With your help, we'll keep on developing while always working to fulfill our mission of serving the entire Cape Cod community and visitors to the area by offering instruction, entertainment, and exhibition in the visual, literary, and performing arts.

Figure Painting & Drawing
With Sarah Holl
In this class, students can practice their drawing or painting skills while working from a live model. Students will be encouraged to find their own voices and explore various mediums. Students will receive individual instruction as well as group critiques. Open to all levels of experience.
Nude models are often used, but don't worry, they will be wearing their masks! Artists will have the opportunity to paint or draw the model in various settings, lighting and props... There will be artists of different abilities in the same class, which makes this a great way to learn. A beginner might work along side an expert and have the opportunity to watch him or her put things together. The creativity that moves around the room is contagious, often at the end of the class during the critique each piece will be completely different, just like the painters!
$25 per person - registration is now required

Tai Chi Sampler
With Holly Heaslip
Four Thursdays from 10-11am
This is a simple to learn Tai Chi practice made up of four moves, or “forms” as they are called, proven to reduce stress and boost immunity when practiced regularly. The practice may be done seated if necessary or with a chair nearby to rest a hand upon. Both will be demonstrated during the lessons. We will learn the four forms in both the left and right directions along with proper “Dantian” (energy center) breathing. The four forms are from three different styles of Tai Chi named Chen, Yang and Sun. The class is called a “sampler” for this reason. Students need no special equipment, very little space and should wear comfortable clothing. Tai Chi is done very slowly and is very safe.
$50 Members, $55 Non-Members
When onsite, class is socially distanced and a mask is required
