The 23rd Annual Art Papers Art Auction: Truman Capote

The 23rd Annual Art Papers Art Auction: Truman Capote

Completed: Winter 2022

Client: ART PAPERS

Sector: Nonprofit & Arts

Scope of Work: Brand Design & Production

The ART PAPERS Art Auction is the publication’s annual gala, and their major opportunity to fundraise for the programming they do throughout the year. It’s a way to showcase established and up and coming artists, to thank donors, and to introduce new fans to this art community. All in all, it’s a pretty big deal!

I worked with ART PAPERS to develop the entire look and feel for this event, from initial design to day-of install and event follow-up.

The first auction back in person since the beginning of the pandemic, this event was deliberatly small and deliberatly masked. With that in mind, and to play to a theme, we called it a “Maskerade,” and incorporated mandatory masks in a Truman Capote-esque black and white theme.
