Contained within a simple structure, our energy is bursting outward, moving toward a future of true inclusion, toward a change in mindset about ability and disability. Ten years ago, we felt like we were moving against the current. Today we’re riding a wave of ideas, an emerging movement that uses the creative arts to share who we are, connect with those around us, and engage everyone in our communities.
In recent years and especially during our 10 Year Anniversary, Upstream Arts has been doing a lot of in-depth reflection on where we've been, where we're heading, and what we value. As part of that reflection, we've been working toward updating our visual identity and language, to clarify and better convey our mission, vision, values, beliefs, and culture to the communities that we serve and to the wider world.
Nearly a year ago, we began redesigning our logo - and we're so excited to share the result of that process with you today! Visit the Upstream Arts blog to learn how we evolved from our original founding logo to this updated look, moving upstream through 2016 and beyond.
