Full rebrand and website design of ARS NOVA WORKSHOP, a jazz and contemporary music non-profit located in Philadelphia. ARS NOVA is a long-standing organization with a significant library of past events and historical recordings.The goal was to create a flexible visual system that could reflect the experimental nature of the music while remaining clear, accessible, and adaptable across digital and print applications. The identity centers on typographic rhythm, modular layouts, and a restrained color palette that allows performers and programming to remain the focus.

Conceived as a living archive, the website functions not only as a platform for current programming but as a record of ARS NOVA’s evolving cultural output. Rather than treating past performances as static documentation, the system allows events, artists, and compositions to accumulate over time, building a continuously expanding repository of work. This approach positions the site as a future-facing archive. By balancing immediacy with longevity, the design supports both present engagement and long-term cultural memory, reinforcing ARS NOVA Workshop’s role as a steward of both historical and contemporary music practice.
