RAINIER ARTS CENTER

This pro-bono project examined poor visibility and signage issues for the Rainier Arts Center. The design team analyzed the best locations to create signage and worked with the Rainier Arts Center to incorporate their existing identity into very visible and artistic wayfinding elements. As the signage is on a significant, historic building in a landmark district, the Rainier Arts Center had struggled with previous attempts to make their facility more visible.  The team took the project fully through the Columbia City Landmark District Review Committee and the citywide Landmarks Board approval process. The resulting signage invites the public to engage in this pivotal community amenity for the arts in Columbia City.
