Kala Art Institute has supported emerging and established artists since 1974. They offer a wide range of classes, exhibitions, residency, and collective projects to their community at their location in Berkley.
I, and designer Ingrid Yang, unified the institute's spaces and helped identify the aspirations of this growing organization. Through student staffed-design studio TBD*, we created a seven-piece customizable signage system that would support Kala's community while honoring the people who make Kala's mission possible.
"It was really empowering to work with TBD*. You opened up our minds and your creativity really engaged us."
