Strathmore
The Arts Are Ours
Strathmore is a multidimensional creative institution and an anchor in the community, reaching well beyond a single stage or campus. The organization features a prismatic array of diverse ways for everyone to connect with the arts, providing a platform and resources for artists and arts organizations to realize their full potential and inspire us all. So where does Contrast & Co. come in? We partnered with Strathmore to develop a rallying cry and campaign strategy, anchored around a single unifying idea: The Arts Are Ours. Strathmore is committed to being the bridge to a more conscious, connected, arts-infused world—a world where we all belong. So we crafted a messaging strategy and campaign to reinforce this conviction, built upon the premise that the arts are for all of us. They’re ours to enjoy. Ours to share. Ours to cherish. Welcome to Strathmore. The arts are ours.

Maryland Hall
The Hall Is Home
Maryland Hall is the region’s cultural core, convening and engaging all people—no matter age or background—in arts experiences that strengthen community. And this visionary Annapolis-based arts institution is proud to include four uniquely exceptional resident companies within its family. In the past, each of these companies operated largely independently of one another. But that’s changing out of a renewed sense of shared purpose and a drive to shape where they’re all going next, together. So we crafted a messaging strategy and campaign to reinforce this conviction, built upon one core principle: Maryland Hall isn’t merely a venue. It’s a home. A home for creativity and community. A home for breathtaking performances. A home for us all.
