Chicago a cappella: Musical Copper Bookmarks

A few months ago we were asked to provide some merchandise to the Chicago a cappella GALA event. We decided to donate 100 custom mini bookmarks.

We recently received word from one of the board member, and one of our top supporters, Maria Suarez:

As a Board Member, and Gala coordinator, of an arts organization – Chicago a cappella, we were thrilled when Copper Art Designs sponsored our recent GALA Event. To quote, Matt Greenberg, Executive Director of Chicago a cappella, “Chicago a cappella commissioned Copper Art Designs to create a customized gift item for Chicago a cappella’s benefit event in May 2009. The result was a copper engraved bookmark bearing our logo and a musical design. The high quality and artistry of the piece perfectly reflects our organization’s standards and was an invaluable addition to our event’s success. Our guests were thrilled with this gift and it will be a meaningful reminder of Chicago a cappella’s brand for years to come. I highly recommend Copper Art Designs for the perfect keepsake for any special event.”

It’s great to hear that they enjoyed our bookmarks. Creating promotional merchandise such as bookmarks, coasters, et cetera for non-profits and organizations is an idea we’ve been throwing around for a while. We’re just working on the exposure and marketing side of things now.

If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let us know. Thanks!

Gallery Central: The Artist Hang Out

Recently it has come to our attention that there aren’t many artist outlets in Virginia Beach. Sure, the typical laptop laden tables are always open at Starbucks but for those who are tired of sitting by themselves wondering where all the other creative people are we have an answer.

This summer we want to start hosting evenings for the arts. Discussions, good music, films and even exhibitions of our friends and new acquaintances work. The young contemporary art scene needs to come to life in the area and we hope we can become one of the catalysts. So, if you are looking to expand your thoughts or knowledge of the arts or show off your ideas and art work get in touch with us and we will let you know what is happening around the gallery.
