New Brand Identity for Artober Nashville

Today it was revealed, the new brand identity that we created for Metro Nashville Arts Commission and Artober Nashville! 

Artober Nashville is a month-long celebration of arts and culture in Nashville, designed to inform and inspire the community’s awareness of and participation in the array of activities in the month of October. 

The goal of Artober Nashville is for every Nashvillian to experience the arts during this annual month-long celebration.

Individual artists and groups can develop “pop-up” events, a one-time event that will deliver a cultural experience within a neighborhood or school or church during October. To learn more, visit www.artobernashville.com

#FridayBeats 07.25.13

Happy Friday!  We're pretty excited here at k2forma.  Lots of really fun stuff going on.  We have a new video that will be released next week.  And we're in the middle of launching a new brand identity designed for the Metro Nashville Arts Commission.  Check it out, each day a new little piece is revealed.  And it will all be revealed next week, so stay tuned! 

Ok, so with all this 'art' stuff going on, I got to thinking about bands that were formed during art school.  And then I started thinking about bands that I listened to while I was in art school.  It may not be a comprehensive list, but it's pretty fun.  Enjoy this week's list!

#FridayBeats 06.28.13

This has been an intense news week and issues of equality, civil rights, race and diversity are all at the forefront.  I'm not here to use this blog as a political soapbox.  While the problems of our nation are complex and deeply rooted, this week has been a great reminder that we have a system that allows the voices of many to be heard. This week has reminded us that significant social change can grow from even the most humble voices.

In this spirit of protest and desire for social change, this week's FridayBeats playlist features all forms of protest song.  Some are about war, some are about race, and some are about poverty.  All are a reminder that if you want change to occur, you can't sit around waiting for change to come to you.  You must make it happen.

Happy Friday!  It's almost June...only hours away.  I have mixed emotions about summer, I don't really enjoy being hot all the time.  However there are many fun outdoor things to do, and the sun sets really late.  So, it's a tough call. 

This week's playlist is all about surf guitar.  I love it all - the old stuff, the rockabilly, and everything in between.  It's so fun to try to sing the guitar part; neener neener neeeeener!  You should give it a try.  Call us and show us your stuff.  Just leave it on the machine 615-528-3364.  Who knows, maybe your riff will make a playlist!

There are all kinds of goodies in this week's list, from some classic stuff to Reverend Horton Heat and The Cramps.  Grab some friends and hit the road or go to the lake, or whatever you do to keep cool this summer.
