MetFest

2021

Identity redesign and art direction for Teens Take The Met! — an evening with teen-only activities across the Museum including art making, performances, music, and more.

The educational program is co-organized with 35+ community and cultural partners, aiming to invite more diverse teens to arts and culture.

The design is based on an illustrative approach, forefronting a diverse, confident teen representation, paired with variable font and bright colors, it aims to be dynamic, lively, and able to evolve from year to year.
