The Art Vault

Concept · Development · Branding

A vision to turn an underused space into artist studios and a public exhibition "vault." Partnering with VDA, I drove the concept, architectural renderings, identity, and a sponsorship campaign to bring it toward reality. Sadly, after renovations, this project never made it over the finish line due to funding constraints.
