Background:

The Oregon Fringe Festival now in its ninth iteration takes place every spring in Ashland Oregon.


Challenge:

Create the third iteration of a weeklong regional arts festival with international heritage.


Research:

We began by taking a deep dive in to the previous two iterations of OFF. Key observations

1. While the festival encompassed theater, music and visual arts, theater had been the dominant form to date.

2. 80% of previous budgets had been spent on visiting talent.

3. Visual identity, web and social presence lacked a clear direction and felt stale.
